Mrs.Opfer Thing we did today!!!!!!!

My Team cinsisting of Jordan, Lawrence, Jake and Myself worked on the special effects for each scene using no specific people. We just practiced each scene to see how it would play out. 

Power Plant

Part 1: The field trip of the front range uses natural gas to power most of the power plant. Also, they have computers that run the whole power plant. If the systems go down the plant would work on its own. If the plant set on fire, they have a tank of CO2 that puts the fire out. If the whole power plant runs super effusion they get money. The work of the power keeps heat and eletricity in our homes.

Part 2: For the coal plant they use 225 mega watts. They also use coal or enegry. Also, they use computes to control everything. They are open everyday. They use steam for power. They also put 99.93% of the power in our house.

How the 21st changed my life

In the 21st Century Curriculum Pilot Program, I have learned a bunch of different activities, and how the Program has helped me in all kinds of different ways. Some of the activities I have learned were Critical Thinking, Globalization and Economics, and the Arts. In this program, it has helped me learn more and more stuff then I have ever learned before. And that is how this program is helping me do better and better in my daily life.

To begin, Critical Thinking has helped me in many ways by teaching me how to Critical Think and how to think better. If you are wondering how to Critical Think it is easier then it sounds, because there are a few things you should know before knowing the exact way. A few things you should know is the C.A.F. witch are Consider All Factors. Another thing you should learn is the six thinking hats. And that is what Critical Thinking is mainly all about.

In addition, in the Globalization and Economics class we are learning about the markets, sells, money, and Supply and Demand. The Markets are about the different sells money and a little the products and consumers. Another thing we are learning is sells witch is the differences in what you are selling and how much money you are selling that product for. We are also learning about money witch is about how much you spend and how much you save. Finally, we are learning about Supply and Demand witch is about how much products we have and what the consumers would pay for the item. And that is what the Economics and Globalization class is all about.

Lastly, the Arts witch includes photography, making videos, creating a music video and music. When we are doing Photography we are learning all of the different the different angles and views of the different ways to take pictures. When we are making videos we are doing what we are learning in the photography lessons. When we where creating music videos we where using all of the skills we learned in the videos lessons and photography lessons. When we made your own music, it toke us a long time to figure it out and to use it correctly. And that is what the Arts class is all about.

In conclusion, that is how the 21st Century Curriculum Pilot Program is all about. So for when I grow up to be the Engineer I all ways wanted to be I can use what I learned. Witch is those three main subjects that I am learning now witch is Critical Thinking, The Arts, and Globalization and Economics. That why I know what I am doing, and that why I don’t make a big mistake.

ABENI IN JAPAN

This trip to Japan has been amazing. I have never been to a forgein country, so this has been a blessing. This experience is life changing because I have learned so much about the culture, about the people, and why they do the things they do. The food was different. I especially liked the noodles and the fried chicken. Japan is a very clean country and I did not see one piece of trash on the ground so when I get back to America, I will realize how dirty we are. I would like to give a personal thanks to the people who made this all happen because you gave us a chance of a life time and I am very thankful for that.

My Trip to Japan

The trip to Japan has change my life by making more prepare for the future. Japan has show en me what is to be in a different country.

The people that made this possible are great. We may have bad times, but they made it possible to go to a different country.

In Japan

In our amizingly outstanding trip to Japan we have discovered nore about their culture ands some of their every day live routine. There was one field trip that I thought was the best and waws mainly because I like Shopping. The name of the tour is harajuku in Harajuku there weere alot of new stlyes. Including there hair and clothes. I did not buy that many items, but the pricing on the clothing is cheaper than it is in the United States. i have learned more about the language, and I can now speak enough Japanese to get by for a little bit of time I love Japan.

Xandria's paragraph

Hello, my name is Xandria. I am 13 years old. Some people call me giggles because I laugh alot. Sometimes I think im miss laugh alot. I am really excited that I’m going to Japan. But Guess what? I was born in Japan! I know how cool is that? But anyways, the traits that make me unique is that I am loving. I care about everyone. I am funny. I make my
friends laugh a lot when I tell them jokes. I am also a good friend. If my friends are down I can try to make them happy. Well bye bye for now.

What makes me...ME!

Dribble, pass shoot; these actions are what I love to do best! If you havent got the clue, those are the actions of the game basketball! I absoulutly love to play basketball, it's what I do best and it plays a big role in what makes me, me! Along with that, many other traits I have makes me who I am. A unique trait I have is my personality; I’m a real fun kid to be around. I love to have fun and live life to the fullest. I like to make boring things exciting, and make people laugh. Another part of me that makes me, me is that im a stright up person and I like to speak my mind. Yes, sometimes it gets me in trouble, and I can be outspoken but that is what makes me unique. I am really exited about the life changing trip we are taking to Japan. Just the thought of the trip gets the adrenaline pumping in my body. There are so many sites I want to see. For example, The Tokyo Tower is a site that im dieing to see. Most people spend their whole life without seeing it and only dream about it, and im going to see it at age 14. I think its great that we get to experenice a new culture see a new way of how people live their life!

Thomas SCR

There are many traits that make me who I am. One trait that is most obvious but makes me unique is my all natural red hair. It’s unique because only 1% of the world’s population has red hear, and no one has shiny, silky, cherry, light red like me. Another unique trait I have is my personality; I’m a real fun kid to be around. I am calm and I’m a nonviolent person. I also love to have fun, I can make boring things exiting, and I love the sound of people’s laughs. I am really exited about the life changing trip to Japan. My thought of the trip get my heart to race. The Tokyo tower is a site most people spend their whole life without seeing, and I seeing it at age 15. I am probably most exited about the flight there, 15 hours of pure awesomeness, and the start of a great adventure.

The future of human beings

What am I? Who am I? What am I doing here? They are all questions that are asked by everyone everyday. I have answered these questions in the last fourteen years of my life. I have answered the first question by knowing what I need to do in life, the answer is I am a human being not any normal human being, yes I have my faults, but on the other hand I got support, I got friends and I got myself. Who am I, I am Adam Flores I live for me not anyone else. What am I doing here; I am living life to the fullest by playing sports and having fun with whatever I do. I have answered these questions about myself and that’s all I have to tell you about me, if you know me you will see the happiness in my life.

I am who i am.

I am who I am. I will be who I want to be. I am Maria Ramirez. I am in the 21st century program. This is my life as a human being. Volleyball and soccer, those are my sports. Chatting and shopping is my thing. The things that make me, me are unlike many. I am one of a kind. Japan will be a great experience for us. It is unlike for middle school students to travel halfway around the world. Knowing this will help many of us learn a whole new culture that will change most of our lives.

i think there for i am christian

Who am I; a question I seem to know all too well I am many things. I am a fun person to be with and like listening to people as well as a good joke with some. I’m fun because usually every friend I’v had has said I’m a good person to be with as well as a good listener since its one of my hobbies. I’m a funny person when I can be and I like to help all the time. I tell a joke once in awhile and I like to be occupied in some way with work or people so I can be useful in some way. I also am a very educated person and most the time a man of few words. I get very good grades in school and really don’t talk to much unless I want to and I’m more of a person of action. the japan journal is a very good idea since it allows everyone to see what fun activities we did and what had happened. this is who i am and what i think about the japan journal.

Law of Attaction (John Rivera)

The law of Attraction is where you hope for something to happen and to never give up on it to happen. After watching the movie the secret, I learned that the law of attraction is powerful to remember and to never give up on. The part of attraction that is so powerful is that you can get what you want to get if you never give up. From want you want to have and want you want from your hart it will happen as long as you never give up on it.

If you want to have a bike for an example and you are always hoping for it will happen, but if you give up on what you want it will never come. But if you know it will happen and you keep a picture of it and never ever give up on it, it will happen. So if you are wishing for what you want it will happen, as long as you believe in what you want it will occur to you. Most people have used the law of attraction, those people that have used it they have thought a lot and always hoped for what they wanted.

If you never give up, but one day you give up on it, it will happen, but not in the way you expected it to be. And if it doesn’t happen you probably would give up on it and start to think Ohhh it’s not going to happen, or you just don’t believe in it. But don’t take my word for it, this law of Attraction has happened to others and most of them have don’t gotten how they wanted it to happen.

Law of attraction

Have you ever wanted something so bad that obsessed about that something all the time always thinking about getting that something, and then some how some way you got what you were asking for? Well if your answer is yes, then you have been exposed to the Law of Attraction, knowing it or not. You are thinking of a friend who you have completely lost touch with. You are thinking of all the fun times together and thinking that it is a shame that both of you just seem to have lost touch. While looking through some papers in a rarely used drawer you suddenly find a piece of paper with your friend’s number. You think wow how did that happen.
The law of attraction states that a person's thoughts, emotions, beliefs and actions, attract positive or negative experiences, so in short if you think about what you want it will happen you can get what you think about. The law states that thoughts put out energy and the universe sends back the same energy back to you giving you what you want. You have to know what you want and by thinking about what you want you are asking the universe to get you what you want. Then think about what you want with great intensity as if you already have it and be open to always of receiving what you want. In my research I found that the most common steps to get the law to work are. Desire: Get a strong enthusiasm for that which you want in your life, a real longing for something which is not there now. Decision: Know definitely what it is that you want, what it is that you want to do or have. Ask: ask for it. Believe: Believe in the accomplishment with strong faith, consciously and subconsciously. Work: Work at it a few minutes daily, seeing yourself in the finished picture. Never outline details, but rather see yourself enjoying the particular thing eventually, you will see a time where it will just appear, as a gift or such, or you may see an opportunity to get what you were asking for.
Feel gratitude: Always remember to say, "Thank you, God and begin to feel the gratitude in your heart. The most powerful prayer we can ever make is those three words, provided we really feel it. Feel as though you already have what you wanted. Feel expectancy: Train yourself to live in a state of happy expectancy find a way it will appear in your life, and keep believing in that. May it be that someone gives it to you, or you find an initiation to get it?
However the law of attraction is not all rainbows and sunshine, there is a down side. The law is blind to what you want and what you don’t want; if you think about something good or bad the law will make that thought happen. If all that you are thinking about is that you don’t want to be late to work or something, you will be late because that is the energy that the universe is getting from your thoughts and that is what will happen. That is the law of attraction.
Now I personally have mixed feelings about the law of attraction. After I saw “The Secret” I had looked back in to the past and most of the experiences that have happened to me could be explained with the law. Just recently I Every day I was thinking about it and always looking at different ways to get it and the law must have worked because within about a week or two I got the game, from my grandparents. Now in the rules of the law you can’t just sit back and think about what you want, you have to take steps to get it and that is what I did, but I think that timing played a big role in me getting the game. Report cards had just came out and I got good grades so I would get an award and Easter was coming up and I always get a gift on Easter, and that is when I got it; and I the rules for the law they say to be open to all ways of getting what you want even as a gift. So for the most part my opinion is shifted more to the side of believing that the law works, but there is still that hint of doubt in the law its flaws.
The first flaw, is that the law of attraction really shows no prove that it is a law. Gravity is a law because it can be proven to be true anywhere in the world by every one, and there is no way to prove the law of attraction to be a law. They say that it is related to physics and science but there is no proof of this. Why do bad things happen to good people- positive, kind people; they don’t ask to die from cancer? Furthermore, if the law amplifies good thoughts then why is there starvation, poverty, death, and war, why is there not world peace. Another example, what if 5 girls all want the same boyfriend and that is all they think about; Im pretty sure only one girl is going to be chosen. The law dose not talk about problems like if thoughts cancel each other out. If one person thinks about one thing and some one thinks that they don’t what that other person’s thoughts to come true what happens then?
So there is some truth to the law and there are its flaws but for the most part it works so next time you want something try and think and focus about getting it using the law of attraction and find out for your self if it works. Oh yah, taking some steps toward getting what you want won’t hurt either.

Law of Attraction

The law of attraction is not a much known subject but is a growing one. People believe that a person's thoughts (conscious and or unconscious), emotions, and actions attract corresponding positive or negative experiences. Also with the corresponding positive and negative experiences they believe that what they thing about will come true in a positive or negative. SO if you have a good morning the rest of the day will be good. I think that that is a big wad of some stupid thought.

The law of attraction is a thought that gets millions of peoples hopes up and they are put right back down because none of their thoughts happen to them. To start off, I don’t think that someone could think of some object or item and have that item pop straight up in your life. Also I do not believe if something goes wrong you day will be bad with bad attitude. And if your morning starts good it could still end up in a whirlwind tornado. As I conclude I think that if you devote yourself to something like a job and climb up the ladder of success you could make millions of dollars. The money would not pop right in front of you face.

Some of the holes in the law of attraction are very big but some are small and here they are. To start off, it totally destroys reality nothing will really appear right in front of your face. If you day starts off good if you think about a nice suit it will not just appear right on you. Also if you want something really bad the only way you are going to get something (like money) is to work and devote yourself to get that thing. Coming to my conclusion if you are thinking that you don’t want something like a bill or a jury duty slip you will receive that bill because you were thinking negatively about it. So those are some of the holes in the law of attraction.

So with the law of attraction sweeping the world off its feet, my feet are still on the floor. I don’t believe that if you think in a positive way positive things will happen to you. I don’t think that if you stub your toe in the morning and you think about it more bad things will happen to you. If this law were true the world would not have wars we would be free from poverty and we would have a world filled with rich snobs. So in the end I think that the law of attraction is a big pile of doodoo.

The Law of Attraction

The law of attraction, true or false? I believe that it is false, because the theory of you thinking and concentrating on one thing for a period of time and then it happens, isn’t possible at all. There are many reasons for this, but the biggest reason is it isn’t at all plausible would be the fact stated before.
The theory is physically impossible and no body can think of something happening and then it happens. For example, if I think about me getting a new game for a long period of time, it won’t happen just because I hope and think about it for a while, doesn’t mean it will happen.
Also, many people think of something happening or not happening and it won’t happen. When I am driving down the road with my mom I am always thinking about us not getting into an accident. Just because I think that doesn’t mean it won’t happen. People get into accidents all the time. Also, I thought about getting a taco for a long time and I still haven’t got a taco.
In conclusion, the law of attraction is definitely false. Thinking of something and it happening just isn’t real. It isn’t physically possible.

Broadcasting By Rebecca Curtis

In the broadcasting business, there are many jobs that can make a big difference, even if they seem to be unimportant. The broadcasting business is no different than any other for jobs. There are a ton of little jobs, and some may seem unimportant at the time. They may also seem "Not big enough" to sustain interest. But imagine what would happen if a light person was nonexistent? There would be too much light, so it would blind the actors/actresses. Or there wouldn't be enough light, so the audience would have to strain to see.

Without any of these jobs, the business wouldn't operate the same way. Every job is important. Equipment is important as well. The equipment is everything from lights to blue screens. Camera's, obviously, to film the program. Microphones to make sure the speakers can be heard. Satellites to make sure everyone can see the program, plus a bunch more.

Radio and TV are a lot of times the main event at celebrations. If there weren't any radio or TV stations at all, we would probably be a lot more intelligent, because we'd do a lot of reading. But we'd also be a lot less sociable. Sort of like hermits, it would be rather lonely. So next time you flip on the radio, or turn on the TV, maybe you'll think of all the people behind just a few minutes worth of entertainment.

Have you ever wondered how radio broadcasting works? Well researching us have people broadcasting that are sportscaster, they interview celebrities, and newsmakers or newscasters, DJs, or working behind the scenes at radio stations.

With this you have to get as much listeners as possible because that’s how your make money.

Broadcasting has to also take skill to because you can’t just walk in the door and say I’m ready. When you are learning more then half of the time is spent in the studios; you’ll be on air, doing newscast, and in commercial production utilizing state-of-the-art technology. Weekly lectures/workshops include radio programming, news, voice-overs, sports casting, copywriting, music programming, station management, and broadcast sales. You’ll also have to get a vocal coach to teach voice and speaking techniques. Now that’s what you got to do when you want to become a broadcaster!

This includes radio, television, and other media outlets that are receive to the public. Especially to the children because were there main target to get stuff that’s new out to our peers.

Especially with a DJ you also have to keep up with phone calls because if they want a song request. A lot of people will quit listening if you don’t play there song even when you play the same song over and over again you’ll then loose listeners. Plus sometimes you have to talk about something while your broadcasting you just can’t be boring and lame because then you’ll lose more and more all the time.

You’ve officially know that broadcasting isn’t always so easy to become it actually takes time because you have to learn before do just like every other job in this world. Well hope one day you’ll like to become a broadcaster and then I could hear you voice on the radio or even the internet!

Radio Broadcasting By: Rachel Byers

In the world of technology, the one that anyone in the world can remember is radio. Being the oldest from of communication and broadcasting, radio is how most people in the world receive news. However, no matter how easy it looks or sounds, producing a radio talk show or drama is very challenging and difficult.

The easiest way to own a radio station is to be hired as a lower part of the business. Once you’ve your way up to the top, it becomes more a dispute.

A talk show radio station needs a few things. First off, you have to learn how to operate the technical equipment or hire someone that does. Even if you have an engineer, its better that you know what’s happening with the technology, just incase. If the engineer is gone, then at least someone else knows how to operate the machinery. There are two trains of thought for the second part. On one side, you’re going to need sponsors who will pay to have their ads on the air. Being a producer, you’re setting the advertising rates. Finding sponsors is an art; very difficult to accomplish. Most businesses won’t waste money on a radio ad that only a few thousand listeners are going to hear. In order to get more listeners and more ads, do the show first, get listeners that regularly listen, and then find sponsors. If you’re worrying about the money in the mean time before the sponsors, don’t worry. Build a strong relationship with the studio management. In the end, you could get a good deal. A good starting point carries on. Whichever decision you chose, perfect your chosen format, that’s the important part. When it comes to speaking into the microphone, stay at least six inches away. You don’t want to hurt your viewers’ ears and you want to make sure that they can hear you properly without turning the volume on the radio far to the right. Another way to get more listeners is to acquire a press pass from studio management. With this pass, you can get unlimited backstage passes to concerts and important events. And last, with a great talk show, be sure to have fun and entertain your audience. I don’t know about you, but if a really boring talk show is on, I’d turn it off or use it to go to sleep.


Another type of radio broadcasting would be radio drama. It would like the soup operas in the sixties or comedies, like Amos ‘n’ Andy, that you would normally hear on the radio. Even with this type of broadcasting, it takes a lot of time, patience, crew members, and hard work to make it happen. This type of radio show takes a little more work than the talk show does.
With any drama of show, on air or off, you’re going to need a script for the actors to read off of. The script, of course written by the writer, takes critical analysis and rewriting as you go along. Rewriting the script will at times add more to the story or suspense. That makes it more interesting as your listeners take in on what’s going on.


There are usually casting conferences with the Writer, Director, and Producer. This step in a radio drama, selects the crew and cast for the production. A Director is said to be “only as good as his/her cast” because they take full responsibility of casting the assembly. The Producer is usually in charge of the auditions and casting requirements. And together, all three choose who will become the characters in the writer’s story.


For any radio station, there is the part where everyone in the cast does the directing and recording. In this part, there is actual dialogue with the script being acted out by the cast in a recording studio. Watching them behind a glass box, would be the director, speaking into a speaker, letting the actors know what they should do next. Also with the recording, would be the mixing of the atmospheric sound effects that will be used in the background. A performance can be done live or recorded, depending on what the director wants to happen. The efficiency of the production is on the shoulders of the studio manager and director. If anything goes wrong in the studio or stereo sound stage, they take the blame.


There is also the selection and critical analysis of the show. This includes musical themes and musical enhancement. Musical enhancement can happen in a few ways. For one, the director and writer can sit down and listen to vast libraries of CDs, sometimes old vinyl records as well. Or, they can hire a composer and musicians to produce original scores of music to fit in with the program.


The post production process involves the planning and discussion to establish a “sound philosophy”. This individual production includes surrealistic, subconscious, and background sound conventions.

There is also multi-tasking post production. This requires strict mathematical planning, timing, and disciplined experimentation with mixed and balanced tracks of sound. With radio, film, and music industry, there is the well-established technique of sound production. Taped stereo sources are included with for different types:

Track 1 and 2
Stereo Music
Track 3 and 4
Stereo sound effects, e.g. atmosphere of a railway station
Track 5 and 6
The stereo sound of actors’ words and movements
Track 7 and 8
The stereo sound of special incidental sound effects, e.g. the sound of a railway station tannoy announcement, or an ambulance driving into the station

Then finally, there is the final editing. This process brings all the scenes together into one story line, the effects of the music and sounds, and the director’s role. The director, at this part, may over take the moral rights of the author and add significant structural changes to the play while in post-production. It all goes down to the ethical issues.

Before the broadcast, there is the impact of the digital technology. This includes the digitalization of the recording and mixing techniques. This step has had revolutionary impact on the political economy. The director can and may use some affordable portable digital audio tape and digital mini-disc machines. Directors and producers use this often to record because it’s cheap and works effectively on different locations. The success for the radio drama depends on the combination, knowledge, technique, and qualitative microphones that the director provides and actors use. Also with these, you can broadcast to the Internet and World Wide Web.
Weither you decide to use a radio drama or a talk show, radio broadcasting will always be tougher than it looks.

Radio Broadcasting

In the world of technology, the one that anyone in the world can remember is radio. Being the oldest from of communication and broadcasting, radio is how most people in the world receive news. However, no matter how easy it looks or sounds, producing a radio talk show or drama is very challenging and difficult.

The easiest way to own a radio station is to be hired as a lower part of the business. Once you’ve your way up to the top, it becomes more a dispute.
A talk show radio station needs a few things. First off, you have to learn how to operate the technical equipment or hire someone that does. Even if you have an engineer, its better that you know what’s happening with the technology, just incase. If the engineer is gone, then at least someone else knows how to operate the machinery. There are two trains of thought for the second part. On one side, you’re going to need sponsors who will pay to have their ads on the air. Being a producer, you’re setting the advertising rates. Finding sponsors is an art; very difficult to accomplish. Most businesses won’t waste money on a radio ad that only a few thousand listeners are going to hear. In order to get more listeners and more ads, do the show first, get listeners that regularly listen, and then find sponsors. If you’re worrying about the money in the mean time before the sponsors, don’t worry. Build a strong relationship with the studio management. In the end, you could get a good deal. A good starting point carries on. Whichever decision you chose, perfect your chosen format, that’s the important part. When it comes to speaking into the microphone, stay at least six inches away. You don’t want to hurt your viewers’ ears and you want to make sure that they can hear you properly without turning the volume on the radio far to the right. Another way to get more listeners is to acquire a press pass from studio management. With this pass, you can get unlimited backstage passes to concerts and important events. And last, with a great talk show, be sure to have fun and entertain your audience. I don’t know about you, but if a really boring talk show is on, I’d turn it off or use it to go to sleep.

Another type of radio broadcasting would be radio drama. It would like the soup operas in the sixties or comedies, like Amos ‘n’ Andy, that you would normally hear on the radio. Even with this type of broadcasting, it takes a lot of time, patience, crew members, and hard work to make it happen. This type of radio show takes a little more work than the talk show does.
With any drama of show, on air or off, you’re going to need a script for the actors to read off of. The script, of course written by the writer, takes critical analysis and rewriting as you go along. Rewriting the script will at times add more to the story or suspense. That makes it more interesting as your listeners take in on what’s going on.
There are usually casting conferences with the Writer, Director, and Producer. This step in a radio drama, selects the crew and cast for the production. A Director is said to be “only as good as his/her cast” because they take full responsibility of casting the assembly. The Producer is usually in charge of the auditions and casting requirements. And together, all three choose who will become the characters in the writer’s story.
For any radio station, there is the part where everyone in the cast does the directing and recording. In this part, there is actual dialogue with the script being acted out by the cast in a recording studio. Watching them behind a glass box, would be the director, speaking into a speaker, letting the actors know what they should do next. Also with the recording, would be the mixing of the atmospheric sound effects that will be used in the background. A performance can be done live or recorded, depending on what the director wants to happen. The efficiency of the production is on the shoulders of the studio manager and director. If anything goes wrong in the studio or stereo sound stage, they take the blame.
There is also the selection and critical analysis of the show. This includes musical themes and musical enhancement. Musical enhancement can happen in a few ways. For one, the director and writer can sit down and listen to vast libraries of CDs, sometimes old vinyl records as well. Or, they can hire a composer and musicians to produce original scores of music to fit in with the program.

Television production

By: abby gonzalez


When people produce a television show they have many jobs, actors and have lots of TV and camera equipment. The television show is made by a cable company that has an agreement with the government. They make many TV shows from Local to worldwide! The local ones are always News, community TV, E.D, and for children and adults. For each TV show many have rules or all have rules but some are stricter and others are easy. For a TV show or commercial it can be produced by anything, a camcorder, a professional camera, cartons/paper and drawings, or putting footage together to make a video. All you have to do is add some final touches and you’re done. Yet this is a simpler way of doing it the real way is even harder.

The Show has different parts of the story and the people. The Gatekeeper has all the control in the small numbers on the show. The Actor is a big part of creating a TV show; the actor uses meticognition questions too. Who is my audience? Do I know my line? Do I have time? Will I forget? All these questions are good for an actor; he/she will need them for the big time to act.

The main person who is in charge of the entire show is the producer! The producer does all the shows, makes and chooses the characters; also he/she writes and directs the show. The director is in charge or all the props, construction sets and backgrounds, casting guest stars from other shows, movies, budgeting, acquiring resources like lighting, special effects, stunts, stunt doubles etc. Once all the set and crew is ready, the spotlight goes on and falls on the stars! However before that they have to plan and rehearse all their lines, actions, stunts, and go over the story board over repeated times until they got it.

All the T.V. shows are not what they seem, REALLY HARD! They are not if you think of it as an actor or a stunt double. However as a Director, Producer and camera man, that is some hard work to do! The producer in charge of the director making sure that he/she gets all the props. Spotlight, budgeting, writing the show etc.! The camera man making sure he/she has the lines writing on the inside of the camera. All that seems very hard to me when you have hard jobs like that.

The beuaty of Good ol' TV shows and the hardships faced when trying to create those shows for our entertainment as well as sometimes for information

By: The All Rockin' Drew Knuffke!

Topic: Radio shows and television are not as easy to produce as you think.
Para 1 Topic: Television and radio shows have been around since the early 1900’s which means more and more people know how to use it. This means much more competition.
Para 2 Topic: You cannot just create a show right of the bat. You need to pitch the idea then you must create a Television Pilot. (Explain pilot)
Para 3 Topic: TV shows are not always successful take the Starsky and Hutch movie, TV series it didn’t last more than a couple of episodes.
Conclusion: All TV shows aren’t successful but that doesn’t mean they will be unsuccessful they can be either so-so, a load of poo, or great! It all depends on what kids and adults are into in those years.

Producing radio shows and television shows are not as easy as you would think before you read this article. The TV show takes time and precision you must get every character right and moving the correct way. One episode of a TV series could take up to a week to create depending on the movement and what they say. That’s another thing you need some people who can speak as your character. You also need to pay these people, and usually you need to fire some.

Television and radio shows have been around since the early 1900’s which means there are more and more people who are gaining the knowledge on how to build up a TV show. You need to compete with other TV shows to get yours in the papers and all that
Jazz. You cannot do this unless your TV show has many viewers. Many, many TV shows have made TV shows that appeal to only the kid population of the United States and sometimes the world. So you have to know which population you want to broadcast to and where that broadcast will go.

You cannot just create a show right off the when you get the idea. You have to pitch it to your peers and superiors. If they do not like it then they will send you on your way to think up another idea. Persuasion is a key part of this business. If you can persuade the boss to give you a chance then hey you got a chance. Whoopedy doo. You still have to create a television pilot. This “pilot” does not fly an airplane, but rather he makes sure that in case that the show does not go all that well you still have a idea to bounce off of and get a series going.

TV shows are not always as successful as you hope. Sometimes a TV show does not last more than a couple episodes. They can be as bad as a criminal in jail for life. So that is why you must keep on trying because maybe just maybe you will end up with the best show in the world and be proud of it too. You could be a millionaire dude, but you have to put a lot of time into it if you want to be successful.

All TV shows make the big times on the first try you have to work at it eve if you fail. Many TV shows have three ratings (in my book at least). Rating one is so-so, Rating two is a load of poo, and three is great I have never seen anything this good since Barney! (That was a joke by the way.) It all depends on what kids and adults are into. If you know that then usually you know that your show will suck, (joke again). That your show will rock!!! Out Loud!!!

Recipe for broadcast by:Leslie Jimenez

To start a great broadcast that will have many viewers, you need a couple of ingredients. First, we need a big scoop of an idea and money. When that is finished, we need a couple of interviews. When they have picked out the best actors,reporters,and news anchors for their parts, they have to have the script handed to them. While they are being prepared, we have to get the big chunks of work. (Down below you can see how many and what kind of workers you need).
