I think that it is wrong that Hannah and Mr. Burd are forced to adjust the newspaper because there isn't enough content. Mr. Burd wasn't just saying that to take up our time. I know for a fact that I only got papers to edit from less than half of the class. All of your articles should be coming to me for revisions. No exceptions.
On the blogs, people are getting sloppy as well. I know that it is almost the end of first quarter but that doesn't give you the right to slack off. There is absolutely no texting lingo in a blog. You are in high school; you should know that you capitalize the beginning of a sentence and have punctuation marks at the end. Sentences that you are excited about don't always end in an exclamation mark either. And 'I' on its own is capitalized. Always. It isn't that difficult.

Good for you Lucy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lucy. We need your oversight, and the staff could not have chosen a better copy editor.

I agree whole-heartedly. It absolutely does not hurt to go the extra tiny distance to make your blog grammatically correct. It's convenient for everybody, and a good habbit to get into. And Lucy, as well as others, might have had more time on their hands to get more stories for the newspaper (since some of you refuse to write) if all of us put in the effort to be correct. Please pick it up, now that the first issue is out of the way.
