Phase III Sending Reporters to the Field

You are now about to send your reporters to the field. But before you do that its important to do one last task as an Editor: Give your reporters an idea of the stories you will be working on so that they have an idea of what pictures to take. Today your teacher will give you a short list of possible articles to use depending on your magazine. Create today a plan of action for tomorrow's activity.

Phase II - Finding Articles

Phase II
Yesterday you created 8 titles for the stories you will be creating for your publication. Now, out of the 8 stories you have to write, five of them will be from your own creation/imagination/prior knowledge and, three of them will be taken from the internet. Today, you will be working on the three articles you will be taking from the internet. Go on Google.com and type key words for these articles. Once you find the articles you want, make sure you get the website address where you found them, then copy and paste both, the article and the name of the website to a Word document. Now find a picture that goes along with those articles, copy and paste them to your document as well. Save the document. As soon as you are done, and if you don’t owe anything in class, you can use your time to have some fun on the computer.

Publication Project Phase I

Publication Project
The purpose of this project is to explore careers related to the field of publications; Photography, Editing, Graphic Designer, Writer, Journalism.

Phase I
Instructions: Today you will receive a copy of a sample newsletter/publication. After selecting your type of publication (there are six options on the board) then you will assign stories between your partners. Each sample has space for about 8 stories; If you are working alone you will only have to do 4 stories instead of 8. Go over the sample and change each heading for a possible title of your own articles. At this point all of these headings will be just ideas; tomorrow you’ll work on developing them.
