*Dear Journalism 3,

This has a rough week. The scripts were lost, power surged, we added segments and you created the WVW Chaos (fun but chaos), and you still managed to pull off great productions.

I have to be honest, I was very nervous on the WVW day. Once I announced quiet on the set, the entire class was silent. People immediately grabbed the scripts and started practicing. The camera people huddled together and came up with a game plan. They coordinated with the director and floor director to try to make the production work.

People who had computer jobs helped in other areas.

The greatest part of this, I didn't have to yell, tell you what to do or point like a crazy teacher...........YOU ALL WORKED TOGETHER TO MAKE A NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION POSSIBLE!!

However, your efforts did not stop there, you made sure enough people were present to pull off production on Wednesday. (Thank you for giving up the fair....this is dually noted in my grade book!)

A special thank you to Sarah, Whitney, Chelsea, Megan and Britt for getting the scripts and organizing the studio during this difficult time.

The anchors are starting to click....smile ....talk....yeah!!!!!

The sports guys are bringing in scores and adding lively conversation!!

Megan and Rachel....thank you for helping me organize!!! You know how to handle my mess of paperwork! I can't wait to see the new graphics!

On a bright note, the class created ideas for amazing segments! Your proposals sound exciting. Please stay focused, and you will have an outstanding show!

BRAVO!

Let's keep up the momentum.

Here's looking forward to next week!
Mrs. C.
