We have started with a new writing strategy for our next article deadline on Oct. 19th. You are now working in your editor groups and are responsible for a feature article and a sports article. Tasks should be divided amongst group members so that everyone is participating in making this first newspaper issue something we can all be proud of. I would like for each student to post what they are going to be responsible for in their groups. Are you conducting interviews? Gathering background information? Attending events for pictures? What are you doing to help your team? Be specific. I want specific names of people who you are interviewing, websites you are visiting for background info, times/dates/location of events that you will be attending.
Keep in mind that part of your grade for these assignments will be points given to you by your teammates. If you are not contributing to the group, your grade will suffer.
