Students are enrolled in a fast paced high energy class that encorporates all aspects that Fort Middle School has to offer. Students are expected to come in everyday with a great attitude and the willingness to work hard to create a great product.
Students will be running a news broadcast every morning for our morning announcements. Students will have various tasks including: script writing, camera work, interviewing, anchoring, productions, and managing.
Students are given a great amount of responsibility to make sure that we have a great announcement program running every single day. Students are graded on their performance and daily work.
Our TV Production class was very excited for the opportunity to go to WTVM News Channel 9 Station to watch a live broadcast in the near future!
Homework:
Students will very rarely have a homework assignment to take home once we have started the daily announcement process. If a student misses a single day for any various reason they are expected to complete a "makeup" assignment to catch up from the day before. Students that do not complete their assignment during class time will be expected to come after school that day to complete their assignment.
