Your final exam is to read one of the articles in the January/February issue of LA Youth and write the accompanying assignment. I have posted the questions under Class Assignments. Do not simply answer the question. Tell a story. The idea is to generate potential stories for the op/ed or feature pages. Use the LA Youth story as your example.
It is due by the end of class on Tuesday. For those of you who have already turned something in, I will give it back to you on Monday and ask you to read each other's work and give each other feedback on how to improve it.
You should also read the Feature Writing file posted in the box.

High School Journalism Day
This just in:
Dear Educator:
On behalf of the University of Southern California's Annenberg School of Journalism, it is my pleasure to invite you and five of your outstanding students to attend High School Journalism Day Spring 2011. The event is scheduled for Friday, March 11th, from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism on the USC University Park campus.
Sponsored by the McCormick Foundation, High School Journalism Day provides an opportunity for students, advisers and parents to participate in workshops and panels taught by professional journalists and USC faculty members. We hope that these sessions will provide an opportunity for you and your students to gain practical information that you will be able to apply in your high school journalism or yearbook program.
High School Journalism Day is always very popular, and spaces fill up quickly. Since the number of participants is limited, we urge you to register as soon as possible. Registrations will be taken online on a first-come, first-served basis. Please visit our website at http://annenberg.usc.edu/highschool to view the agenda and to reserve your spot. Each participant should be registered in our online system as we need an accurate count of attendees
We request that advisers, who brought students last fall and wish to return, bring five different students. There is a registration fee of $5 per person which is due by March 8.
Please let you me know if you have any other questions or concerns. We hope you will be able to join us again this spring.
Sincerely,
Diane Cancino
Coordinator, High School Journalism Day

THOSE WERE THE DAYS: Linotype, afternoon deadlines & no Twitter - trentonian.com
Last night, Mr. Hayes came by the room and said to Kevin, "Aren't you glad you don't have to set type?" This reminded me of this story and YouTube video that Mr. Fitzpatrick sent to me months ago. I've been meaning to show it to you. Take a look.

Best Beat Reporting Award...
goes to Afsana and Monica, both of whom have had a story in the last issue and the upcoming issue on their respective beats. Afsana has a story on MET's interdisciplinary projects that combine English, history and technology. Monica has a story on JROTC taking part in a Veteran's Day ceremony. These stories exemplify good beat reporting. Once you get to know your sources, it gets easier to find stories on your beat.
