Goal for staff: Make each day your masterpiece. You have to apply yourself each day to becoming a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be.

Goal for editors & advisor: Define success for those under your leadership as total commitment and effort to the team's welfare. Then show it yourself with your own effort and performance. Most of those you lead will do the same. Those who don't should be encouraged to look for a new team. — John Wooden

Week 10: The Last March Post

1. A great read from the NYTimes, suggested by Charlotte Lobdell. What are your thoughts on this topic? How about the structure ... is this well written and reasoned?

2. The Hunter Becomes the Hunted: A phenomenal piece about a terrorist hunter in Iraq. This is another solid profile piece that gives a great perspective on a nation at war and a man trying to fix things. How is this a compelling a story? How does the author made the mundane exciting?

3. An excellent commentary from Grant Hill about a recent incident that's been all over the news and March Madness. Share your thoughts on his response. It's a pretty hot topic

Week 9: more of March

Do you know this guy? I think so. What are your thoughts on this piece as a profile and story? Does the tone match the content?

Is this argument a good one? Some would say the wealth disparity in this country is the cause of the troubles mentioned. Level out the amount of money a family takes home, and things will get better.

Share your thoughts and insights!

Week 8: The ides of March (almost)

1. College the Easy Way: Pretty provocative ideas, especially as you all are students at a college prep school. Thoughts?

2. Liam Neeson Interview: Yeowzers this is a great profile! And Tom Chiarella is an amazing writer. What are your thoughts on the overall structure of this piece? Is it effective? Does this piece make Neeson a more compelling personality?
