Deadline 3- 12/7-12/11- DON'T BE ABSENT- Remember minimum punishment for missing a day during a deadline is 1 letter grade deducted from final semester grade. If we have to do your work for you, you will receive a zero.

Ad Deadline- Artwork must be in by January 11th for guaranteed placement. Seniors don't have to pay yet, but we do have to have their artwork. We may still have room after January 11th, but we cannot guarantee it at this time. Your $500 should be in by this date, however, if we still have room in the yearbook you will have some more time to fulfill this deadline.

Tshirts- if ordering a faculty shirt, get it in by January 4th along with your money. Remember you are graded on doing something for your faculty member. You don't have to buy them anything, you can simply do something for them. If you do this, write what you did on a piece of paper and turn it in to the basket. If you've missed months and need to makeup a month, do something extra for them and I'll give you credit. Make sure you document it and turn it in.

Take Notes for grade on this deadline, what you need to know, the process a spread must go through, each groups individual deadlines, etc. Turn in the same day for a grade.

Put together copy envelopes with spread materials for deadline 1 and 2. Even though I said it a million times, some of you never filled out or even looked at the spread checklist.

Envelopes must contain the following for me to check them. All spread materials ever associated with this assignment stapled together with the most recent spread computer printout on top placed inside envelope. Spread checklist separated from all other materials by itself (stapled together 1-6) filled out completely by all students working on spread and also placed inside of envelope.

Layout- if you had do work for reporters that didn't do it, or never showed up, put what you had to do on the outside of your envelope.

Turn all envelopes in the basket. Make sure they are put together the way I've specified or I won't grade them.

Remember to put in your shirt order for the faculty adoption. If you didn't do anything for your faculty member, you can get extras on your shirt to makeup for it. Otherwise you will receive a zero if you don't get them anything for each month you did nothing.

Also, your grades are online. Some of you haven't checked your grades yet, and others haven't given me a working email address. If you want to see your grades online, and haven't yet, see me so I can help you access them. This serves as your progress reports so its important that you look.

Continue work on Deadline 1 and 2. Remember you cannot be absent unless there is an emergency. Anyone absent during deadlines suffers a minimum punishment of 1 letter grade off their entire grade for the semester. Sometimes we will have to turn your spread over and do your work for you in which case you will receive a zero.

Remember your Ad Deadline of $250 is due by Dec. 14. $500 ad deadline for guaranteed placement of ads is Jan 11. We may still have room to sell after that point, but we'll have to let you know.

Make sure you fill out the spread checklist. It is very important and I cannot give you a grade for your deadline work if you don't fill out your portion.
