midterm exam



Yearbook midterm exam_December 2016

Name:___________________________________________________



  Journalism is the discipline of gathering, writing and reporting news, and broadly it includes the process of editing and presenting the news articles. Journalism applies to various media such as magazines, newspapers, radio, television, and websites. 
In journalism, the Five W’s (also known as the Five W’s (and one H) or simply the Six W’s) is a concept in news style, research, and in police investigations that are regarded as basics in information-gathering. It is a formula for getting the “full” story on something. The maxim of the Five W’s (and one H) is that in order for a report to be considered complete it must answer a checklist of six questions, each of which comprises an interrogative word.
The Five W’s + H are who, what, when, where, why and how. A good piece of journalism should contain all of this information. 
A yearbook should tell the story of the school year. With all of the above in mind, select a yearbook page from a previous yearbook. Select a page that has some written content in addition to photos. 
Write an essay stating whether or not this page represents good journalism. Your essay should be similar to the essays you write in English class. Part of your grade will be determined using the rubric below. Part of your grade will be based on how well you completely discuss the 5 W’s + H as it pertains to the page you have selected. Be sure you mention the date of the yearbook and the specific page you are discussing.

Email the essay as an attachment when you have finished.
