Of School Buses and Deadlines

I wanted to update you all with the assignments and deadlines for this week.

First comes on Wednesday (I am getting the deadline right this week). By 4 p.m. you should submit your three stories -- international, national and local to this posting so Hosanna and Rachel can report on Thursday.

Your news story will be due at the beginning of class on Thursday. You can only use these facts for your story. Keep a careful eye on your lead and the structure of the piece.

Please email me a copy before class on Thursday and bring a printed copy as well. Stories should be about 400-500 words in length and have your name at the top.

See you Thursday.
