Room closed all week during BOTH lunches. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Don't forget that you must complete a professional development assignment by May 27. This is part of your quarter grade and will make a difference in the final outcome of the grade. Do NOT delay.
To review today's assignment:
The San Francisco Chronicle has reported that student knowledge of our democracy (civics) is on the decline. Read the article here. If we were going to feature this topic in the Titan Template, how should it be packaged? You'd have a story, of course, but what else would go with it? What kind of photos? Sidebars? Where would you get the information?
Prepare a one-page report (that's ONE side of the paper) describing how you would use either one page or a double-truck (that's two facing pages) to feature this topic. Be specific. Include the angle for your story, which specific people you would interview on campus and off campus, what your sidebars and graphics would be (feel free to sketch it out if you need to include that), and the specific sources you will use for your research on the topic. Typed work is required. You may hand-draw your graphics if necessary. You may use "I" language (i.e. I would do this because...). You may not work with a partner. I am looking for YOUR creative thinking. This is due by the beginning of the period on Tuesday, May 10. A period students: if you come to class late, it needs to be in your hand when you walk through the door. Electronic copies are not acceptable for this assignment.
