News and Notes: 2.18.11

Happy Vacation! Get some rest next week since you have about a week to put the paper together when we return.

Help your fellow students! Middle College High is starting a newspaper. Steve O'Donoghue will be telling them about CC Spin on March 16, but there's also room for you to attend and tell students what it's like working on a school paper (how you generate story ideas, your editing process, etc.). The meeting will be at Middle College High. The time will be forthcoming. If you're interested, see Wojo.

Scholastic Journalism Week Activities:

Friday: Journalism Potluck. Bring your favorite journalism-related dish to share with the class. Include a card with your dish to explain how it is related to journalism. For example, you could have Katie Couric Baby Carrots. Katie Couric was the first solo female news anchor for an evening newscast on one of the major networks.Be sure to include the explanation. You get points. If you don't want to bring food, you could bring cups, plates, forks, spoons and napkins. Just make sure they are journalism related!
