Day 1 of 3 (Period 6 Today)
If you wrote a pitch over the weekend, I probably approved it. If you did NOT turn in a pitch, you will be doing in-class work this week.
Remember:
Those with an approved pitch (I talked about it in class) need to make a Doc and SHARE it with me TODAY and begin working on your articles IN CLASS! The first hour today was spent on article writing.
Those who are not writing articles have TWO in class assignments that are due at the end of class. Both assignments are in Classroom, but you must write your ACE format answers down ON PAPER. Please note that if you aren't following the instructions I can't give you any points!
If you went on the field trip, the second half of class we looked over student photos from the trip, and discussed what images need editing and which ones do NOT.
You should use Pixlr.com/editor to try and adjust the photos that need some help. This is usually lighting and contrast, but it could need cropping or color adjustment as well. Remember to save these edited photos in the same shared field trip folder!
The FINAL edited photos in your Google Drive folder are due on Thursday night. You MUST share your folders with me today!!!
Homework
If you wrote a pitch over the weekend, I probably approved it. If you did NOT turn in a pitch, you will be doing in-class work this week.
Remember:
- Articles should be around 400-500 words (not including photos or the headline/byline!).
- Reminder that ALL articles must include interviews/quotes/evidence, and the majority of articles will be written in third person.
- Must include relevant photos or images/graphics in good quality that YOU OWN.
