Grades

Your deadline for submitting your Jan 23-27 timesheet through Edmodo was January 29. January 29 was actually an extension of the deadline. If you did not meet the deadline, you received three zeros, as I said you would in the earlier posts. This was discussed in class on several occasions. For now, you have three zeros. We may discuss changing this grade, individually, later.

Your timesheet submission for this week is due February 3. Be sure you submit this according to directions.

You will have the assignment for 9 ACT words due on February 24. You can submit these through Edmodo or as hard copies. The Edmodo assignment is not yet posted.

Submit your "time sheet" according to the directions. If you do not submit this "Time sheet" grade, you will get zero's for your individual grade, group grade, and timesheet grade for that week. You can help with proofing. See pages in notebook.

If you are in the Art, Design and Communications academy, you should use your laptop to do this.

You should also submit your ACT words electronically. You should work on ACT words daily, save them, and then submit them once each grading period. I will create an Edmodo post for that submission.

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 your essay on exam day to the address I provide you.

Your finished pages are due December 9. You should be working on these pages now. Are layouts on computers?

Your big job will be identifying and typing names under the large club photo. When the picture is made, be sure we print out a copy if you need it to identify people. Better yet, get the names when you take the photo.
