Just Your Opinion Please!

Okay, I want your opinion...based on the facts, of course!

As you know, I am not here today (Friday, Oct. 10)....I am at a meeting in Little Rock.

Please accomplish this today:
  1. Write an editorial (yes, give me your opinion!) on the candidate of your choice for President of the United States using facts, statistics, and research to back your opinion. If you research the candidate, plan to hyperlink to your source(s) or directly refer to the source within your editorial.
  2. Complete the corrections on your "main news" and "sports" stories. Place those final stories within your "Final Stories" file.
  3. Sports story drafts are due today.
  4. When all this is completed, you may "play" with your Indesign hard-copy newspaper page.
  5. Lilly, your story is to interview all the senior Homecoming maids and write a feature on them. Please read the next blog entry on writing interview questions. When you have your interview questions ready, ask one of the other reporters to go with you to Mrs. Diane's office to find out where these girls are and deliver your questions.

Please view the online newspaper. Halli is now a published author!

Keep up the good work! We will publish the rest of you next week!

I was thinking McCain or Obama...but I suppose we could develop our own Presidential prospect.
