INSTRUCTOR: Derra Banks
2021/2022 School Year:
Hi everyone! I hope that this message finds you healthy and safe. I wanted to let you know that all encore classes for middle school students enrolled in TV Production will take place in person, but will still use the Canvas platform to post many of our assignments and project outlines. Whether you are enrolled in the fall or spring semester, I'm looking forward to a fun class with all of you!~ Mrs. Banks
The TV Production program is one of our longest running technology Encore programs at Porter and one of the most popular. Students work in teams to perform on the morning news announcement shows, Star Quality shows, create commercials, and complete independent video projects. Students learn all studio operations (from everything behind-the-scenes to being in front of a live camera). Students may also create individual and group projects using video creation software such as Adobe Spark, iMovie or Canva.
The Television Production program is always looking at ways to incorporate new trends in technology into our class. We are currently using Zoom to broadcast our Friday Star Quality Shows and FlipGrid to stream our daily morning shows.
Although this school year might look a little different than those from previous years, we are dedicated to making this class just as enjoyable with more individual movie projects and studying the art of filming!

Grading
Assignments
Student projects will be explained in class and descriptor sheets will be posted on our class Canvas page. Many of our completed projects will also be turned in via Canvas. Projects are due on the dates stated on the project sheet descriptors and set in Canvas. If you are having a problem submitting your assignment by that date, please send an email to Mrs. Banks with an explanation, as soon as possible. Project descriptor sheets will also include either a rubric or a breakdown of the point totals for each assignment. Students are expected to complete the majority of their work during our class period.

Announcements

Star
Quality
Shows
We will still be responsible for the daily morning shows and the Friday Star Quality Show. Once the calendar is set for the semester, it will be up on Edmodo, in the files section of this page and a printed hard copy will be available on the board in a smaller scale. You will be recorded for attendance by our intern each time you come to our shows. (Same as in the past.) You should also put your important dates in your agenda to help you remember when it is your week or days to be on air. Failure to attend your assigned shows without previously discussing it with Mrs. Banks will result in a lowered effort grade on your report card.
