The "pitch" is where you try to sell your idea for a skit to the class by describing it to them in person.
The more positive reaction we get when someone reads their idea, the more we know that's a great idea to try.
Please be respectful and listen to everyone that pitches their ideas equally. Their great idea could be YOUR excellent grade on this project.
Let's Talk Logistics: Remember - This is for a VIDEO. We HAVE to be able to film it and have it look decent production-wise.
If you can't provide answers to the following, you may want to re-think your plan.
1. CAN WE FILM IT AT SCHOOL?
2. What costumes will be needed?
3. Are people in class willing to act it out with the confidence & swagger required for a great skit?
4. It is TV-G? We have middle schoolers watching.
5. Does it make sense?
6. Does it connect with the Wheeler community? Or is it too random a joke for a lot of Wheeler students to understand?

About Employability Grades
AVTF is a Career Elective - Teachers instruct students on not only the subject matter but on qualities needed to maintain a job. These skills are required to be taught as a GA Department of Education Performance Standard - See below.
Students are taught the Employability Standard the first week of class.
Each AVTF student earns an Employability Grade along with his or her Project Grade in Synergy. It is 30% of the total grade in the course. There are multiple projects during the semester to give them opportunities to practice their on-the-job-skills.
Employability Infractions are listed by each grade so that parents will know what is missing from the students daily job skills. These grades are flexible - they change based on a student's daily effort in class and the overall performance during the scope of the project. Again, parents are able to see any Employability issues in the note section next to a grade to monitor workplace behavior issues.
Common behaviors that every student is cautioned about regularly:
Off Task: Cell Phone Use, Gaming, Movie / TV Watching, Sleeping
Safety: Careless Handling of Equipment, Lab, Physical horseplay
Communication: Profanity Use, Disruption to Lab Environment, Disrespectful Treatment of Co-Workers, Supervisor, Visitors
AVTF Students that struggle with intense temper or attitude issues are asked to sit in the classroom part of the lab until they can get calm. Each behavior has a point loss of 5 or more points per behavior per day. Points are recoverable up to an 80 so that students can learn how to improve workplace behavior without failing the project and hopefully without earning a disciplinary write up.
Everyone has a chance to increase their Employability each day through:
1. Daily work effort
2. Dedication toward producing a quality product that will be shared in class
3. Demonstration of knowledge of lab equipment, and and respect for lab environment, his or her co-workers
