Recouping midterm points

Here are the opportunities you have to recoup points from your midterm:

On the research - research Cherokee Ballard for next week's speaker event (Nov. 9th).  On the day of the event, bring a hard copy of your work. This time, you need not give a narrative, but bullet points WITH salient information.  In other words, if you find her resume you can list that but then add to the bullet point what parts of that resume might be information you will need for a story on her.  You can get up to half of what you were counted down for the research before if you do this adequately. DUE November 9th.

On the media - come talk to me about what you needed in your midterm story.  If you correct 3 things in your short video package (the one you are doing for your blog posts), I will give you back half of the points you lost in the media. DUE before Thanksgiving week.

3003 from here on out

This is your "to-do" list for the rest of the semester:

4 blog posts - Next week's blog post will be covering Cherokee Ballard's event on Nov. 9th, 10:30 in Hall of Fame room. BEFORE Thanksgiving, you MUST HAVE a short video (nats, soundbite, cover).  For the other  - 2 media or a small video =A, etc.  I will be grading down for bias in your writing, fact errors, less than two sources and lazy reporting.

Reading "leader" - in pairs you must present one chapter from the required reading.

Innovation presentation - teams compete to present their case studies on Knight Foundation News Challenge winners.

Final - profile or issue driven story (same as midterm), research, source list, 300 word lead in and 1:30-ish video.
