Script

Hi ev, welcome to the 4cast!

Hey Rachel, aren’t you exhausted from all these tests lately?

Yes! Thank goodness the quarter is almost over.

Well here’s a class that doesn’t have any finals.

Anchor in:  I have heard good things about the Eastview acting class, so I've been interested in it for a while. Because the details of the class are pretty unknown to the Eastview population, we decided to get the scoop on the class.

Anchor out:  Thanks Lindsey, the acting class sounds pretty exciting.  I am definitely going to sign up for that next year!

I agree.

Anchor In: It's now time to take a look at something many students who attend Eastview High School do quite regularly, in an attempt to give back to their community.

Volunteering
Anchor Out: Thanks, Carrie. If you're trying to find something worthwhile to spend your time on look no further. There are plenty of opportunities one can take advantage of, so go ahead and go.

There are a lot of opportunities, and in our next story, we can see that working with people with disabilities is another way to get involved.

Anchor in:
People with disabilities have a lot of joy and can teach us all important life lessons. Christopher went to Valley Middle School to see what makes them happy, along with lessons they say can help us in our everyday life.

Anchor out:

Thanks Christopher, the positive attitudes and the impact they have on lives can truly be seen by the people that have worked with them. We should all get to know someone with a disability so we can experience the happiness and learn lessons from them.

That sounds a lot more fun than studying for these final tests.

I think I know what to do next quarter, sign up for acting and volunteer!

Have a good day Eastview, and stay tuned for the credits.

 Anchor: This video is about the joy of the disable people who are possibly having the hardest life time in Minnesota. And i hope people who saw this video will be encouraged by their active attitute to the difficulties of life and get to know them better.

Anchor out: Wish you having a good time during this beautiful fall and find the joy in your life just like them. Happiness doesn`t need to be special but it could erase the dark and put the sun back to your sky.
