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.

Plenty to do! Busy! Busy! Busy! ~~ Type! Type! Type!
