Gillmore Cafe Choices!

Please take some time today to research your historical journalist. Remember to save the URL's to your sources!

Remember your goal is to create a PowerPoint presentation to aide in your presentation. Please limit the number of words on a slide...few to none! Use pictures, phrases, charts, graphs. This is not something your viewers are to sit and read; it's purpose is to simply aide in our understanding of your journalist.

Please check with your "people" to see if they have completed your interview questions. Goal: to create a hard-copy newspaper next week!

Ready to be published authors?

Please leave me a comment with any questions or concerns.

You are great! Thanks!

Sept. 15: Questions! Questions! Questions!

1. Write questions for several people for each story.
2. Print and disperse (either via email or by hand-delivering.

September 3: A Historical Perspective

Today, we need to spend some time

1. completing feature stories. Type! Type! Type!
   
2. creating masthead...be creative! I have placed some links to a few Pioneer mascots here.
   
3. reading PowerPoints (click here to access them) about the history of journalism. Click on the first three links. Read! Read! Read! We will discuss these on Friday. Be ready!
   
4. embedding your leads here. Thanks, Chelsea and Destiny, for linking your leads!

August 31: Work Day

Today, I have to leave a little early...about 2:00. My daughter Holly is sick, and I need to take her to the doctor.

Hopefully, your interview questions are returning! Yes? No? Please let me know if I need to email anyone and "gently" remind them the importance of their returning the questions.

As you begin composing your leads, are there others you should interview? If so, prepare those questions and plan to deliver them today. On Cafe Newspaper, two reporters linked their links from Thursday's class. If you are not quite finished, you may use some of today's time working on those.

Please plan to also include plenty of quotes throughout your feature. For a review of quotation marks, please click here and work through the last three links.

Now, think about which question you want to ask your featured person...going "LIVE!" Today, you may spend some time "playing" with a flip video camera.

• When is your interview scheduled? You may leave me a comment below when you have a date and time. Thanks!

Remember, we have two-ongoing assignments:

1. New Masthead Competition! Deadline this Friday, Sept. 4!
2. Research your famous historical journalist.
