Journalism

Today, you were given a package of the stories that have been entered into Publisher to date.  Please make sure that you have completed the following notes on each story on the back of each page:

Headline notes - are the headlines and opening sentences catchy/appealing? Suggestions?
Images/photos - do we have good quality photos? Are they well-placed on the page?  Do they have appropriate captions?  Suggestions?
Layout - How does the printed story appear on the page?  Does the layout appeal to readers or dissuade them from reading the story?
Content - Do the stories need extra or fewer details? Are there any factual errors?  Are citations needed?

Please also make grammatical and stylistic edits right on the printed page.
This is Workbook Exercise #16 and it will be marked out of 10 -- 5 marks for completion and 5 marks for thoroughness.
