9th March - Sessions Work

Dave came into our session again today to talk us about the articles that we are planning on putting in our newspaper. He started by asking us if we think that our chosen articles are relevant revision, is it interesting and will it give the reader something they couldn't get from reading something else?

He then got us to think about researching for the articles, would Wikipedia be good?, footnotes and quotes from other articles are useful and needed and possibly expert opinions?

He also said that the angle of how you go at this points matters too, to show you coming at the student angle - so they understand.

Tone is also important, will it be a news piece?, opinion piece?, feature piece?, interview? advertorial?

Presentation is also key and you need to make sure that the layout is interesting. There is no point having a page full of text as they can easily flick past but if they an image on it, something that draws them in - it will keep them interested to read on.

This was the meeting that we had to catch up on what everyone was up to and Dave(teacher) came into this meeting to talk further about the articles and then about possible funders/advertisers.
