New Editors Notes

Red Cross Youth Christmas Bake Sale
December 8, 2011 lunch time in the auditorium

Photo: RCY members will be baking goods for the bake sale during lunch. There will be people going around with envelopes to collect donations. Focus on taking one group shot of the food selling booth and a couple of individuals going around donating.

Copy: RCY is doing this bake sale to fund an orphanage called “Hope House.” Its an ongoing project RCY has been a part of since the beginning of their club. Focus on how some clubs like RCY is trying to impact the society around them by funding one specific orphanage. The orphanage has yet to be recognized by the government due to their poor facilities, thus RCY is trying to help improve upon their status. This bake sale is a part of RCY’s journey to help Hope House gain recognition.

MS Table Tennis

Copy:

Think of an angle that depicts a unique aspect or feature of table tennis. I
honestly don’t think a lot of schools cover table tennis as part of a P.E. curriculum,
so you should focus on its uniqueness. How long has table tennis been a part of
the P.E. curriculum? I’m sure it’s relatively novel. Find out why the P.E. teachers
decided to incorporate table tennis as a part of their curriculum. Find out what
students learn through table tennis and how they appreciate the sport.
I would start the copy with a certain scenario—for example, focus on a
student who was playing a game and won. Use a quote that explains how he or
she learned such methods of table tennis through the course. That would be your
hooker. Then introduce your angle and describe the course of table tennis in
general. So your copy should move like an inverted pyramid, from a detailed story
to broad generalizations about the topic.

Photos:

-Take photos with interesting angles, not just “flat-out” where you’re just watching
the game at an eye-level. Get down, go on a chair, take shots from above the head or
below the table. Capture emotions.
-Maybe you can have a panorama photo! Make a photo that’s extremely long (you
can snapshot the whole scenario of the gym) and you can incorporate it as a leading
line or background shot.
-Vertical shots of individual players
-Students hitting the ball, students setting up the nets, etc.
-High depth in field shots of students hitting the ball
-High depth in field shots of the racket or ping-pong ball? It would be an
interesting way to display a picture, maybe can be used for an info-graphic or
background photo.
-Horizontal shots of games
-Have a variety—double teams, single players, etc.
-P.E. teachers supervising the games
-Students helping each other out on hitting methods
-P.E. teachers showing students how to handle the rackets properly




Event - MS Field Day on Dec 16

People to interview: Mr. Munro, at LEAST three students/participants, one teacher who helped organize

Things to consider: Events, games, equipment, student responses, purpose of this 'tradition', new adjustments/changes

Angle: things that went well, reason for the frequency

November 17^th Junior Choir is going to perform at KIS in a choral Concert

Assigned to: Grace Song + Kevin Kim

From Sean Kim

Photos: One person should follow them to KIS and take photos for the event.

Copy/Caption angle: Talk about how SIS choir has been making progress, spreading out across the different international schools. The number of concerts a choir has often represents their size and skills, thus you can talk about how choirs on lower levels have also been trying hard to develop.

Possible interview questions:

-       How long has SIS been a part of this KIS choral concert?

-       If this is new, what was the initiative to join?

-       What do you (advisor) expect to get out of this Concert?

-       What do you (students) expect to get out of this Concert?

Please focus on progress and their journey to becoming a better, more developed choir utilizing these experiences.

Angle: Reasons Behind the Fundraiser, if it is personal?
