We began by discussing the interview information we gathered on the support/enrichment period. Most interestingly the responses were mostly positive with a few negatives. Not overwhelmingly negative by any means.

We had a 7:20 meeting. Still waiting for one when everyone arrives on time.
Maddie was obviously sick and went home.
In class Sarah took over and handed back captions they had handed in. Too many of them were poorly done and so we retaught how to write a good one and then handed them back to those who handed them in.

Not sure what the troops were doing. Hopefully finishing their profiles.
Today was Secret Pal day.

Hacked by the editors while J-Dawg is gone :)
We played the foot game, "to be continued", and silent football. Maddie, Alyssa, and Sarah did a skit to show new staffers how to make senior ads.
Now Maddie and Alyssa are off to shoot cross country. HOLLER BIG BALLER.

I also gave the assignment for the to send to me one great design to usse as I begin my design training.
Hannah stayed after school to finish her story.

During second period Maddie cut open her melon that she got from her secret pal on Friday.
Tried to Skype with Lio, but I could not make the connection. Not sure what the issue is. Will keep working on it.
Started class with another photo and caption exercise then we worked on the profile exercise for the rest if the class period.

First day of Secret Pals
Had kind of a chill day. First secret pal day.
Natalie and cookies.
Alyssa and her Ritz
Sarah and her Swedish Fish.
I also taught them about story transitions and then they had time to finish their interviews. On Tuesday they must have completed the beginning of their stories: a lead, a quote and the first transition,

The editors continue to be on top of all that needs to be done. Mr. Jordan is happy
Today was Early Thursday, so classes were shorter.
In yearbook we did a caption exercise and took an open book quiz on the staff manual. I pass out my handout I use to guide the writing of their first story.
Tomorrow is the first day of Secret pals. Hope no one forgets.
