Third Term Major Project: MAGAZINE MAKING BY FAMILY

Rationale:

After three terms of studying, deepening, processing and internalizing the various principles and lessons of CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE, FAMILY LIFE AND RESPONSIBLE PARENTHOOD, we come now to the summation or the capsulization of everything that we have had tackled for this school year in this subject, Christian Living.

This one and only major project for the final term in CL4 is a group project; i.e., to be done by each of the 4 families per section with the leadership of the parents.  This project aims to gather the individual varied point of views, personal experiences, insights of each and every Senior student regarding the said topics to be formally compiled in a simple magazine form as their legacy, point of reference for future lessons and remembrance to the up-coming Senior students of this school, De La Salle Santiago Zobel.  This project is in collaboration or integration with basically most of the major subjects: English (English Articles), Filipino (Filipino Articles) Arts (Symmetry, Design and Pictorials) Accounting(Advertisement) Music (Music, Movies and Songs Review) Computer (Lay-outing and Graphics) THE (Miscellaneous articles like cooking, car accessories, et.al., Science and Math for their trivia and leisure articles and PE (sports and leisure Family related articles)    

Mechanics:

1. Each Family will gather together in the classroom to brainstorm in view of the concept, style, contents, pictorial, editing, lay-outing and printing of their Family magazine.  They may choose one of the following topics:
1. Dating, Courtship and Love Relationship
2. Wedding Preparations
3. Facts, Myths and Issues on Marriage
4. Joys and Challenges of Family Life
5. Responsible Parenthood
2. They will come up with their own title of the magazine, and each of the member has to contribute a minimum of three and a maximum of five articles for the said project.
3. For lay-outing and graphics, and other computer related things to do they have to see Sir Jordan, Ads and pictorials for screening purposes and for suggestions (decency of pictures in particular the Ads) see Ms.Nuevo, Other articles see your respective subject teacher concerned.  Important Note.  Please have your articles ready a week before the final printing of this said magazine so as to avoid problems.
4. All pictorials should be done inside the perimeters of DLSZ during CL time, recess, lunch and dismissal only, outside these times kindly seek a permission slip from authorities.  No pictorial outside school.
5. After all articles are written, everyone should immediately submit them to their respective Editor in chief and assistant editors for editing.
6. No family should have a final print out unless the final dummy is shown (soft copy) to the CL teacher for suggestions, comments and final approval. ALL WRITE UPS MUST BE ORIGINALLY WRITTEN as much as possible.  Plagiarism will means deduction to the individual writer.
7. Since this is a group effort, each family member has a particular job to do such as, editing, writing, taking pictures, lay-outing, managing the business sought to say, auditing etc.  Ergo, in view of the expenses for the printing of the final copy, it is expected that the Business Managers, Assistant Business Managers, Project Coordinator, Editor-in-Chief and the Managing Editors should come up with suggestions on how to divide the financial burden not only among the ten group members but also from certain means such as simple Advertisements to share the monetary expenses from their relatives and family friends. 
8. The minimum size of the magazine is at least one half of a long bond paper, maximum size, that of a standard magazine. Minimum pages 20.
9. Possible Content of the Magazine Project:
1. Editorial
2. Feature articles
3. Advertisements (All advertisements should be modeled by the members themselves of each group/family)
4. News articles
5. Pictorials
6. Poems
7. Miscellaneous
10. Means of printing.
1. Personal Computer Printer in your homes.  To make it practical you could tie up with another group/family in buying the ink.  If resources permit and since you are more or less 35 people in a class to share the expenses, a colored printout is encouraged, but if financial matter would not allow, at least a black and white printout will do.  Last remedy, soft copy.
2. Printing press/publishing houses of your families (biological), family friends, relatives and close friends whom you could ask for a discount. This means is to be done only if your business managers are responsible and creative enough to gather additional money to shoulder your expenses.
11. Duration of the Major Project:  1month
12.  Deadline: On or before February 17, 2011. God bless.
