9/11 homework and class work

Good afternoon all:

We made it through another day. We are still getting to class late... regular days class starts at 8:45 and on Wednesdays you should be in class by 8.

Tonight's homework is select an article about 9/11. Cut it out and identify the following parts: headline, lead, inverted pyramid, 5 ws and h. Make sure to type the assignment as it will be collected tomorrow. For every day it is late, you lose quality points. Please make sure to write a short reflection as well with the article. What aspect of 9/11 did your article cover? How do you feel this piece dealt with the issue?

Many of you still haven't turned in the first homework assignment from Friday, 9/7. Where you had to cut out 2 articles and identify the parts. I will not accept this assignment beyond Monday next week. Remember always that we are a newspaper class and deadlines are an essential part to getting things to function well. You miss a deadline, you get a zero and the work isn't done.

We also have the standing assignment for a news article due September 21st which is due Friday, September 21st. That is next Friday, so try to get some time to get that draft done. Use the rubrics given out in class. I will post it soon if you lost it.
Have a great night,
Ms. S
