IDIOM PROJECT #1

Name of the team members: Diego Santiago Martin,

Nicolas Moreno Pinzon
Grade: 7B
Observations: Great ideas for the videos! The source you
provide is great, but you had to provide 2 sources, where is
the other one??? That will affected your grade. You improved
your script and I like that, I made many modifications though,
I had to fix many spelling mistakes and add additional
information. Read it carefully and practice it so you do well
during your radio show.
Grade: 6/8
Instructions:

Read instructions carefully. When you finish, send it through

Phidias to your Language and Literature teacher, Miss Pamela Prez.

PART I: IDIOM PLANNING CHART

Idiom and meaning

Final Video Idea (be very specific

to how you will explain the idiom
in the video)

1. Read between the lines.

To discover something or to look for a
meaning hidden.

In a school a student cant find the main idea of

a text so he asks the teacher how he can find it
and the teacher tell him that he needs to read
between the lines. Good. Make sure you explain
what the idiom means later.
The teacher tells the student that tomorrow is
exam so he needs to crack a book. Very good.
Two friends fight and one of them is so furious
that the other one tells him he is all steamed
up. Great job.
One mom sees that his son is very tired so she
tells him that he burned the midnight oil last
night. Great job.

2. To crack a book.
To read a book many times or to study.
3. All steamed up.
With all the energy or to be so furious
and became red like a tomato.
4. Burn the midnight oil.
Burn or use the energy you have at night
or midnight in parties or works.

PART II: RADIO SCRIPT QUESTIONNAIRE:

1. What is your radio topic?

The radio topic talks about why people like reality shows so much?
2. Investigate online 2 sources related to your topic and explain how it is
useful for your radio script.
SOURCE #1:
The new york times.
Link:
http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/15/why-do-we-like-reality-shows-so-much/
Useful Information:
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is set on the aspirational edge of show business, a
few swimming pools and movie contracts away from A-list Hollywood. Yet there is little
discernible difference among these doyennes of self-indulgence and their sisters in
Washington; New Jersey; New York; Atlanta; or Orange County, Calif. Their gated
communities are ticky-tacky, and the mansions all look the same: huge, shiny and new,
with lots of white carpet, walk-in closets and crystal chandeliers.
And the women collagen-plumped, Botox-stretched and Pilates-sculptured look so
alike that its difficult to tell one Beverly Hills housewife from another, let alone from other
housewives in New Jersey or New York. Theres a reason so many women of means are
willing to adopt a look and follow a script: reality-show heroines are rewarded with book
deals, record contracts and the kind of social entree that money alone cant buy.
Excellent
How is it useful for my script?
It is useful because with that information I can tell what are the most important reality
shows and why the people like them, for example the reality in a show makes it very
interesting to people.
3. Choose 2 or 3 songs that are related to your radio script topic:
Mamooth of Dimitri Vegas, Summer time of k391 and Uptown funk of
Bruno mars. great
4. Why are these songs related?
Because is the music they are used in reality shows.
5. Start working on your radio script. (Reminders: you must include all 4
idioms and include your English teacher in the dialogue, do not make
long paragraphs, make a long conversation of short dialogues, also
explain where the songs will go in your script.).

DIEGO

reality show?
Yes, The Kardashians is a reality
show.
Yes, and what Diego said, I think
everyone has a different reason to
watch a reality show, for example:
you can be sympathizing with the
main character that you like maybe
you watch the reality because it is fun
with you, or you are just bored at
home and have nothing else to do
Yes, I am always curious about what
is going on with the Kardashians,
they are a little addictive.
Yes, Many girls love to watch that
show. We did our research, and we
found out that MTC had many reality
shows, the most watched was Jersey
Shore, Laguna Beach, The Oc
and The Real World

PAME As funny as it sounds, I used to watch

LA all of those reality shows when I was
a teenager, I was addicted to them
NICOL Miss Pam I have never heard of those
AS realities! jajaja I think that is a thing

for girls I say we make a short

pause and we listen to a cool song
how about we listen to the song
summertime sunshine by K-391
Good choice Nico! Lets hear it.
Aaand we are back people of
Gimnorte, we were having an
interesting conversation about
Reality shows in case you were
interested.if you have a favorite
show, come by the radio station and
share it with us!
Yes, feel free to come and share! did
you know what is the music that the
reality shows use the most nico?
Yes! I investigated and I found out
that the most frequent music is jazz
or slow music to relax people
That is interesting I didnt even know
they used that type of music in reality
shows.
But that is not the only reasons why
people like the reality shows.
Ok, so can you tell me about the
other reasons why people like them?
Ok Miss Pam, the other reasons are

because there are reality shows that

talk about the life of a family, a
person, friends etc. and Im going to
put an example of a program named
The Real Housewives of Beverly hills,
they talk about the life of woman with
lot of money, her life, her pastimes &
more.
NICOL Yes, and the reason many people,
AS especially women, like that type of
shows is because they talk about all
