EVENT TEMPLATE
Attend the event and arrive early. Pick up a program.
Interview at least one organizer.
THREE EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
- Examples: A soloist,
a list of some of the compositions played, a description of whatever got the
most applause. Is it the professor or director’s last concert? Was there a
special guest performer? For fair-type events, what was the most popular area
and why? What did you find most
interesting, and what can you find out about it?
QUOTATIONS
-
Get quotations from three or more
participants and/or audience members. Get quotations from an organizer. What
stood out for them? For students, get the name, age and major. For staff or
faculty, get the name and position. Check spelling of all names.
LEAD
Write a lead about one of the highlights or what you found
most interesting about the event. Do not lead with the information from the
flyer, e.g. DON’T write: De Anza
students learned about campus clubs at Club Day April 24 –you could have
written that before you got there. DO write:
The electronic stylings of De Anza College students Aaron Reyes and Victor
Ma reverberated through the main quad, while students learned about the campus clubs
they can join. In the next paragraph,
give the date, etc.
PHOTOS
Take many photos, and then choose 15-20 to email to
lavozphoto@gmail .com. Include close-ups of interesting things or faces, medium
shots showing what a person or small group is doing, and a few wide shots
showing the entire event. Choose the
best, clearest, most interesting photos. Do not send multiple photos of the
same thing, but 15-20 different photos so that editors can decide what is best.
- CUTLINES (Captions): Include a cutline for each photo. For photos in which
five or fewer faces can be seen, you need the names of each person. For students, get the name, age and major. For staff
or faculty, get the name and position. Check spelling of all names. In the
cutline, describe in the present tense what is happening in the photo.
- E.g. Jeannie Nguyen, 19, music major, tunes up her cello as she prepares
for the June 22 De Anza Symphony Concert at the Visual and Performing Arts
Center.
- E.g. A miniature Volkswagen illustrates the concept of inertia as part of a
science project by Daniel Lopez, which he presented at the De Anza Math &
Science Fair June 13.
- E.g. (from left) Maria LaVigne, 19; Teresa Than, 20 and Lauren Li, 20
demonstrate salsa dancing June 25 at the De Anza Dance Concert.
Although I am a 21 year old male and a major football fan, I often feel left out when my friends rant and rave about their hobby, which, I might add includes nothing more than a few overactive sports fans and some sports phone. This is called “Fantasy Football,” this is a competition, where each player gets to pick and choose their players from the real team. The winner of each weeks games is determined by the performance of each individuals players performance. The collected sums of these player’s performances determines this weeks winner.
ReplyDeleteSo the question is “are Fantasy Sports a form of gambling?” There is no doubt there is a thin line between the two. The term “Gabling” means placing money of a game that relies completely on chance. While “Fantasy Sports” requires weeks or years of player statistics analysis of each player, not only on the their team but those of the other players. This research also includes former, past and present injuring and their likely hood to affect their performance.
When I began my research I would have brushed off this question with a simple yes. After researching the amount of work, research and dedication that so many people go through to; doesn't a cash incentive make a little sense? Unlike gambling which is purely a game of chance, Fantasy Sports is a game of skill. In my opinion (which is a near couple hours of experience) I would have to say, with out a doubt, Fantasy Sports is no form of gambling due to the skill, reasoning and research required.
