Tuesday Agenda: Bell Ringer Pep-talk Bad Journalism examples Bad journalism worksheet Draft Rules Exit Slip

Pep-Talk I like to have fun just like you, but there is a time and place for fun. Yesterday, I was not happy with the work ethic coming from my staff (you). The test on Wednesday will not be open note, so make sure you study the study guide tonight. It is not an easy test. Please make sure we are staying focused on the material at hand. When we get work completed, I don’t mind us having fun and chatting, but there is a time and a place! We have to get the work finished, so you are not liable for bad journalism. (Ethics)

Bad Journalism Some publications may not be following the standards of good journalism. We will be examining a few different articles and decide if the journalist used good journalism standards. Let’s discuss part A.

As We Roundtable the Articles: At each “station” there will be a magazine or news article. In your group, read the article. Then fill out the Part B of the worksheet. It is asking you to identify the questionable ethics in the article. MAKE SURE YOUR GIVE EXAMPLES!! There are other irresponsible writing that you can identify in the article, so don’t be afraid to write them down.

After Roundtables: In your group and on a BIG Post-It: Come up with a list of rules you feel must be followed in our journalism class so that your work is responsible journalism. Possible Areas to Discuss: When can sources be confidential? How can we assure that facts are correct? What will happen when an editor feels that a reporter’s work is not meeting standards of good journalism? How can we fairly represent a variety of views? What types of material- advertising, photos, topics- will not be accepted?

Exit Slip: On Your Own: The Three Little Pigs (Gary) Create a tabloid-like article using one of the following mythology/folk/fairy tale characters. The Three Bears (Indyah) Cinderella (Grace) Little Miss Muffet (Casey) Robin Hood (Jon F) Aladdin (Lauren) The Little Mermaid (Tori) Little Red Riding Hood (Haley) Snow White (Makala) The Three Little Pigs (Gary) Davy Crockett & the Alamo George Washington & the Cherry Tree The Old Woman & the Shoe Johnny Appleseed The Girl with a Ribbon Around Her Neck (Bruce)

Friday Bell Ringer: Reflect on the test. How did you do? What are some areas you felt confident in? What are some areas you felt you should have studied more?

Agenda: Bell Ringer Jobs

On the larger Post Its: Each person needs a different color marker. Write down at least 2 requirements that each job should be responsible for, including your own

Job Requirements: Think about what your job should be responsible for. Make a list of at least 4 items your job should do (these are your hierarchy jobs: editor, photographer, marketing, etc) Use some of the ideas your classmates came up with.

Write it UP: Write a proposal about your job. What responsibilities should you be responsible for? What are some responsibilities that you feel are not your responsibility? Why? Use ideas from the posters. How should your job be graded?

Remainder of bell: We need to finish the Tri-fold for the game tonight. We need to finish the Aurasma script and actually record it.
