It's BLOG READING DAY! Each week, you will need two documents for this assignment. The first is the
group list. Check that list for your name. Find your group number, then
check which blogs you are reading for that week. For example, if you are in Group 7, this week you are reading blogs in column C.
- Reading blogs is a weekly assignment
- You will read EACH blog on your weekly list
- You will comment on EACH blog on your weekly list. Comments must be substantive and move the conversation forward about the topic. If you don't know anything about the topic at first, say so. Ask questions. Maybe the author will write a post addressing your questions! Keep your comments on topic, but feel free to expand on the topic as needed. You may also comment on other comments.
Story pitches are TOMORROW. Come to class with at least
THREE story ideas in
THREE different Departments (News, Sports, Feature, Arts). Be prepared to discuss the angle for the story and why that story is important to your readers. Also, what research needs to be done and who needs to be talked to (these are NOT the same thing).
Stories that are off limits for purposes of this assignment:
- update on the fall play
- update on the solar panels
- anything about specific games for any of the fall sports teams
- update on the plastic bag ban
Interesting ideas that
could be entertained by your editors:
- school/district disaster plan
- student and staff parking (unless the issue is already resolved in a satisfactory manner)
- ???
