April 30 - Assignment - 20 points formative - Due TODAY!

Go the The New York Times and the Washington Post today's edition online.

Write up ten story ideas that you can localize for the school newspaper with the links to the original news article.

Put in my hand-in folder Pd. 6(not the Buffalo).

Work quickly. Looking around will help you get ideas. For example, who knew there was a deadly fungus in cloth, for goodness sake? See this link here. Now that is a horror movie.Can this fungus travel to other places, like a school, for instance?

I am at a media festival debriefing. Back tomorrow.
