About ROP

The Regional Occupational Program (ROP) provides an opportunity to learn job skills, find out about a career, gain employment, and select a college major.

 

How ROP TV–ISP works

 

Most students enrolled in ROP courses in this state attend for two hours every school day throughout the school year.  Because Franklin High School is on a block schedule that rotates course enrollment every other term, we accommodate the year-around requirement of the program by enrolling students in an Independent Study Program that exposes student to key knowledge required by individuals interested in the video production field. 

 

Students enrolled in the “hands-on” section of ROP Television Production in their first and third terms, will rotate into the Independent Study Program during their second and fourth terms.  (Note: In some circumstances, it is possible for a senior to be enrolled in the 1st period program all year long. See your instructor if you are interested in this option and your schedule allows it.) 

 

Students completing the ROP-TV program will receive a certificate noting the competencies they have achieved. 

 

For students to receive full credit, they are responsible for accomplishing the equivalent of ten hours of work each week they are enrolled in the independent study section of the class. 

 

This is accomplished by doing the following during a typical week. 

 

  1. CRITICAL VIEWING LOGS.  Keep a critical viewing log of all media watched during the week.  Each week we will concentrate on a different aspect of the media you watch.  You will make a note of all media you watch, including televisions programs, movies on TV, cable, DVD, videotape, and in the theaters. Media that you watch on the Internet also counts.   Most students should watch a minimum of eight hours during a typical week.  It is not a problem if, during some weeks you do not watch the minimum.  Just note the hours you do watch.  
  2. ON-LINE READING & QUIZZES.  Read assigned modules (or chapters) from the online textbook on Television Production located at cybercollege.com.  Each week you will need to do three to four modules.  Each module will conclude with a quiz.  You are to take the quiz, print out the results and turn the paper in at the next class meeting. If you do not have a printer, you can write out your answers. 
  3. CLASS MEETINGS.  Attend all four class meetings held during the term.  At the class meetings you are to turn in your Critical Viewing Logs and Quizzes.  Meetings start at 7:35 a.m. and are held in HF2.  Make sure you mark your calendar so that you do not miss any meetings. 
  4. SCHOOL LOOP DISCUSSION.  Between each class meeting a discussion question will be posted on SchoolLoop.  You must answer the question posted by the teacher and make an appropriate comment on another student’s post. 
  5. SHORT FILM TREATMENT. During the term you will conceive of a short film with a run time of 4-5 minutes and submit a concept proposal for it.  By the last week of the term you will turn in a finished treatment for the film.  The project should be one that can be student produced.  This treatment will be turned in on SchoolLoop. 

 

Each student is expected to check into SchoolLoop at least once each week.  If you do not have Internet access at home you can use the computers located in the Franklin Library.  You may also use a computer in the HF2 computer lab after school by appointment (typically until about 4:00 p.m.).   

 

Students wishing to check out equipment for an extra credit project need to discuss their project with their instructor for approval, which will be granted on a case-by-case basis. 

 

LATE WORK POLICY:  Late work is docked on grade level every grading period it is late.  Discussion posts are not accepted after morning meeting date.
