Tuesday – Students raised any questions they had about covering the California Primary. There was an open-book quiz from the AP stylebook. After that, we did an in-class exercise that looked at different kinds of leads (not for grades). The leads exercise is to be posted on the blogsite.
Thursday - We discussed how the primary assignment went for everyone. We looked at four articles on the screen: two from the Ventura County Star and one from the New York Times about Super Tuesday. And one article from the L.A. Times that was an excellent example of an anecdotal lead. We then began the Bank Robbery assignment which is accessed online via your ipass that came with your textbook. Anybody who does not have an ipass or the ability to log on to the site communication.wadsworth.com, please get in touch with me. The assignment is due on Tuesday. 400 wds is enough.
Reading: please read the firsts half of Chapter 20, about covering crime. You may stop at page 415.
Important dates:
February 14 and February 21st there will be no class.
Note: there will be reading and assignments to cover those missed classes. Make sure you know what they are. If you miss class on Feb. 12 you must check the blogsite to find out what to do.
Feb. 12 – Final date to hand in the homework assignment at the back of Chapter 7 (questions 1,3,5). Final date to hand in the inverted pyramid version of Snow White. Final date to hand in the California primary assignment. None of these will be accepted for grading if not handed in on this Tuesday.
