"I was a first year teacher with experience in the television industry. However, having experience in the industry and teaching the basics of television production to teenagers are two, totally different fields. I knew what I was teaching; I just wasn't experienced in how to teach it. This book gives detailed instructions for every lesson. It's also easy to follow and structured in logical order; each lesson builds on the last, reemphasizing the previous lesson. The students have to master each lesson before moving on to the next. From the history of television to how to have your class produce their own news show . . . this book tells everything you need to know. If it were not for this book and the assi stan ce of the author, Diana Blount, I would not have gotten through the school year! I recommend this book to anyone who is just starting out in the field and experienced veteran teachers." -- Altoria White, Second year television production teacher, Stanton College Preparatory School, Florida
“Your TV Production I & II books continue to help me teach my courses. At first, as a new teacher, I followed them religiously. Now that I’ve gained a little confidence, I find I turn to the books as sources and adapt their lessons to my class. Either way, I would have a MUCH harder time teaching without them. I also have had the time to search out other TV Production books for teachers, and honestly, yours has the most innovative lessons and detailed plans for getting through each class. Diana Blount was wonderful to share all her great ideas with us.” – Marisa Carbone, Paxon School for Advanced Studies, Florida |
