Journalism I & II 2016-2017 Teacher Name: Sara-Beth Badalamente (O’C) Huron High School: 734-994-2040 Contact Times: Sixth hour planning (I am at the school between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday-Friday. I check and return all emails within 24 hours during the school week when school is in session) Email: [email protected] Website: http://huronjournalismprograms.weebly.com/ Purpose/Course Description: Journalism I is an English elective where students learn the basics of journalism and mass communication. Like all courses at Huron, Journalism is designed and taught with IB in mind. IB English at Huron is an inquiry-based, collaborative environment where all students will develop into globally minded listeners, speakers, readers, and writers. In Journalism A, students will primarily focus on how to write and edit news, feature, opinion, sports and yearbook articles. There will also be an opportunity to help produce Huron High School’s newspaper The Emery. Journalism II is the second half of the introduction to journalism course. It is an English elective and/or computer credit. In Journalism B, students will focus on the basics of design and photography. Students will also learn the basics of Adobe InDesign and Photoshop. Journalists who do well in both Journalism A and B will receive top consideration to be on the school newspaper, broadcast and/or yearbook staffs.

The semester exam will count for 20 percent of the overall semester grade. Types of Evaluation and Assessment: Journalism I’s grades are calculated into three parts: 1. Each quarter grade will be 40 percent of your grade: (40 for each quarter so 80 total) Quarter One 5 percent: Tests and Quizzes 5 percent: Participation 60 percent: Articles 30 percent: Projects/Assignments/ Newspaper Production Quarter Two 5 percent: Tests and Quizzes 5 percent: Participation 60 percent: Newspaper Production 10 percent: Advertisng/Fundraising 20 percent: Daily Assignments 2.

And the exam grade: 20 percent: Final Exam Your semester grade is based on imporvement/indivdual growth. I do not round grades on any circumstance. Assignment Expectations: Students are to follow directions on assignments given and grading rubrics for articles will be available in advance. Just like the real journalism world, assignments are due at the beginning of the hour on the due date unless otherwise specified. Late Assignments: No late assignments will be acepted. If you do not hit your deadline, your article, photo, desgin etc. would not make the next day's newspaper, broadcast, web page etc. therefore, it will not make the grade book. (Journalism I) ALL articles may be revised up to a 90 percent grade if the original due date is made. Revisions may be turned in at any point and as many times as it takes to get a 90 percent. Revisions for any/all articles are due by the Friday before final exams. (Journalism II) MOST assignments need to be completed on a computer in room 4203 due to the programs we use. Being in class ensures you will get your work done. If you plan on missing, you will need to make up work after school. Tests and quizzes may not be made up during class time; you must schedule a time before or after school. CLASSROOM PROCEDURES Student Responsibilities/Expectations: I expect courteous behavior from my students, and I will respond in kind. When a substitute is here in my place, I expect students' behavior to be as good as, if not better than, when I am here. Whether or not you agree with the substitute, you are to follow his/her instructions. Computer Use: Computers are for school-related assignments only. If you are found on Twitter/Facebook/Bubble Shooter/Games other blocked sites etc., your computer-use for the day will be taken away. Do not abuse the technology in the classroom. Consequences: Improper classroom behavior will result in specific disciplinary actions; i.e. call to gaurdians, detention, loss of participation points, etc. Improper use of technology will result in loss of privileges along with replacing, in full, any broken equipment. Passes: Passes will be given on a need-be basis. Interviews will be set up in advance so journalism students will not interrupt other classes. Abusing passes will result in the loss of the privilege to leave the classroom to interview. Additional Operational Information: I am so excited you chose to take jouranlism. Publicaitons are my passion and I can’t wait to share that with you. GO TEAM!
