Greetings, staff members. Unfortunately, I will not be in school Monday. Instead, I will be...well, indisposed. Please follow directions of Mr. Rauh, our guest teacher. He is a delightful person, and he might be a good person for someone to interview.
If you have not already done so, please fill out the interview questionnaire in the textbook. We will exchange them on Tuesday.
Also, we need a bit of assistance on two or three items:
- Press passes. I know Bailey has been working on them. How close to finished are we?
- A staff page, also known as a masthead, which has a list of the paper's vital statistics. Look at page A-4 in the Wickenburg Sun as an example.
- Hannah has the ability to upload any article, photo, news and other information to our on-line newspaper.
- I have e-mailed Hannah's user-name and password to her. She can start posting articles on our school newspaper at hsj.org. Very cool.
- A calendar of events. I think Caitlin was keeping one. Make sure we know what is going on in the month of October, when our paper comes out. Someone(s) could check with Mrs. Myers to see what student council has planned for homecoming.
- Can someone do a crossword puzzle for the paper? Comics? Opinion piece? Should we have these?
- Should we have an "advice column" this year?
- Perhaps someone could interview our new superintendent?
- Tamara Thomas, the Sun editor, can visit our class on Thursday (not Tuesday) after school. She will go over design and editing. This would be great for anyone, but especially for the editors.
- We are only three weeks from deadline!!! It's crunch time. Please make sure Hannah has enough interesting material to fill 12 pages.
