By the end of the first marking period on November 9th, you need to have completed these six training modules from SchoolJournalism.org:
Story Ideas
Reporting and Interviewing
News Writing
Style, Editing, & Headline
Feature Writing
Sports Reporting and Writing
Proof of module completion will be the turning in of a completed paper copy of the quiz at the end of each module. Once you have watched the video and completed the readings for a given module, you need to get the paper quiz from the 1st Hour crate by the window.
You may do these in any order you like. I strongly recommend starting with the one that is most closely related to your current newspaper assignment. For example, if you are on the Sports Page team, you should start with Sports Reporting and Writing, but if you are on the News and Features Pages team, you may want to start with News Writing.
Please note: I am not just giving you this assignment just to keep you busy. These modules were created for the specific purpose of making high school students better reporters and writers, so please use them the way they are intended.
Each completed quiz is worth up to 50 points and the paper quizzes must be turned in by Friday, November 9th.
