Team+18

Team Captain - Emily McDonald (Callie, Luke, and Breeanna) 2-17-11 We went to teachers classrooms and knocked before we entered. If they said we could come in we asked for 2 new kids for an interview. We asked them how it felt to be new and what they did during 2:00 - 2:45. Then they went back to class. Tomorrow we are going to interview Mrs. Tucker because we got an appointment.

2-18-11 We went to the teachers that we got appointments with and interviewed them. We came in and started to work on putting the videos into a movie. On Monday we are going to work on the movie and try to get it done.

__From Mrs. Pearson: Sounds very organized. How will your keynote be used? There is another team putting a keynote together, would this be a possibility for two projects being combined to make a really cool keynote... like chapters in a book. One of your teams would be chapter 1 and one of you would be like chapter 2 and you could add a "preface" and table of contents...Think about it.__

2-21-11 We are almost done with our interviews and started to put the movie together. Tomorrow we are going to get the title and credits on the movie and our goal to get it done by Friday and also finish our interviews. Callie is going to do video. Luke is going to do interveiw people. Emily is going to do computer.

2-22-11 We worked on our interviews and movie. Our movie is almost complete. We had a little problems in the group today, but we got over it. Tomorrow we are going to try to get along and get the movie done. We are also going to have the same jobs tomorrow and Breeanna is going to be an interviewer with Luke. (Due to problems using the equipment- your team cannot score full credit for the day)

2-23-11 Well we had a frustrating day today. Luke and Breeanna were not helping at all. They were to busy helping another team. Callie helped them a little bit but after she was done helping she came out to help Emily. Emily tried to finish the movie and the recording. She almost did but got interrupted to much by people from the other team coming in and out. It was so loud inside the news room Emily had to go outside and sit it the hallway trying to finish. I have to include that luke and breeanna interviewed some things before they started helping the other group. Tomorrow I'm hoping it will be a better day and we get the movie done. Emily is being a boss and is doing very well and she taking us to the top and yes we have our up and downs but, we will rock this tomorrow with our film is going to be 90% done just a few more things to do tomorrow then were done.We are also going to have the same jobs tomorrow and Breeanna is going to be filmier and interviewer with Luke. Emily is going to do computer and Callie is going help her. Emily is takingus to the top.

__ From Mrs. Pearson- Helping others is a really good trait, but you also need to do it in moderation, so that your own team does not suffer. I appreciate your concerns. Sometimes the place you think will be the best for quiet editing, just turns out not so good. I am glad you came up with another plan. I still have not received a response for my previous questions. Also, tell me what is your question? Why is this video going to help a new student? How will this video help the new student build a better relationship with YOU? How is this video helping you connect with the new students? After this video, what are your plans in regards to helping new kids? __
