CW – Friday, April 28th, 2017

Supplies: pen or pencil, journal/paper, a laptop computer

Daily Objective: To build reporting and research skills before embarking on a larger journalism project.

Bell-ringer: Free write!

Activity: Choice Course on NewsU.org

After you complete the “Be a Reporter” Game, choose another course to complete in the next three days. Here is a list of free, self-directed courses. Make sure you choose one that doesn’t cost any money and is not so long that you can’t complete it in three class periods.

The course you choose should relate to an area of your interest. You will build on what you learn for this reporting unit. If you are unsure of what topic you would like to research and report on later, choose a broader course, like ethics or grammar and style.

The course report for this next course is due Friday, 4/28.
