First of all my congratulations to everyone who came and participated in sports night. It was an awesome finish to Spirit Week. Secondly, my congratulations to the students who played in the basketball game. You were all amazing and deserved your win!! However, the teachers are hungry for revenge and we are going to try to get another game, hopefully in December, so be ready!!
Now, for your assignment. Please write two reflections each about a page in length. The first should be about what you have learned so far regarding print journalism. What have you learned about writing articles? How does it differ from essay writing or fiction writing. How is it similar? What have you enjoyed about the two articles you have written and what have you disliked or struggled with?
The second reflection is to discuss the 60 Minutes episode we watched in class on Bill and Melinda Gates. I will post the link to the episode on the blog if you wish to see it again. What are some of the differences between print journalism and broadcast journalism? Which style do you prefer and why? Which style allows you to gain more information and insight into a news story? Did you think that the 60 Minutes episode was well done? Why or why not and what could have been done differently?
As you write these reflections try to keep in mind that they should be a way for you to learn from your current assignments and improve your writing for future assignments. You may hand write these reflections, but do not discard them as they will become part of your portfolios. As I stated in class, both reflections are due at the start of class on Tuesday. Enjoy your Monday off!!
