Reminder- Monday- everyone stays after school

Bubble sheet- must be completed before you find/take pictures for your spread. Example shown again in class- for how to complete

Story- label your 300 word story, as I did with "After the sky fell"- you were given a copy.
Then, rewrite your story. (Everyone has to do this-including photographer's) Add missing details, or facts. Fix tense problems. Add effective repetition. Type story, eliminate unecessary wording, so you have exactly 300 words, but don't eliminate what is important. Save your miscrosoft word document under your page numbers given to you.

Go 2009 Test Yearbook- pages- your page numbers. Also print out story.

By Tuesday, you should have your bubble sheet completed, your story should be revised, typed, and saved in the proper location (photographer's save in your photo folder). Also, you have to have your 25 pictures saved in your picture folder.
