Assignments!

Hi Guys,

I'm at Catalina High School today, working on 8th grade recruitment--you all remember being 8th graders, right?!

Either way, here's what we're working on today:

2nd Period: 

• Staff Members: You should be finishing up those stories... you know, the one's that you kinda sorta started :D I want to see final drafts on Friday!

• Beginning Journalism Students: First, find your current event and post it to your blog. Second, watch the following videos and answer the following questions:
• https://www.cbsnews.com/news/whats-behind-conspiracy-theories/
• What is Gayle Lynds' number one rule for writing spy novels?
• What percentage of Americans believe that the assassination of JFK was a coverup? How about 9/11? The moon landing?
• What are conspiracy theories all about, according to Joseph Uscinski?
• Explain psychologist Ron Brotherton's ideas behind how a conspiracy theory forms.
• Do you believe in conspiracy theories? If so, which one? Why do you or don't you believe in these theories? Uscinski believes these theories can be good--do you agree or disagree?
• https://abcn.ws/2qQBrcS
• How did Johnny Bobbit Jr. help Kate McClure?
• How much money did the couple expect to raise on GoFundMe? What did they end of making, and how did it get so high?
• What was the trio charged with?
• What was Johnny Bobbit Jr.'s first "Good Samaritan" story? How was he able to make money off this?
• How did they end up losing the money?
• Are crowd sourcing websites a good thing? Why or why not? Do you believe the numbers about fraudulent campaigns on GoFundMe? Do you agree with the company's decision to return money to those that donated? Have you ever considered donating to crowd funding websites? Why or why not? 

4th Period: 

• Continue working on the proofs!

6th Period:

• If you haven't finished/posted your depth of field photos, shutter speed or composition photos, please do.
