Day 7: Time to steal

• Second drafts are due! How are graphics coming along? Who needs help with graphics? How can we make interactive graphics?
• Quick check-in about twitter/instagram
• MCT Campus -- another source for some current events and graphics to plump up our weekly content
• Editors edit
• Holland (or someone else) -- work to process senior speeches and Happiness video
• Others -- check out these other high school websites and see what story ideas are worth stealing, what concepts are worth copying, what things we might learn.

Let's review some fun ideas about interviewing.

And work time:
1. Can we get Tiger's article out there?
2. Holland will continue to be an editing machine!
3. Chiara & Henry -- work on article
4. Sara -- explore some ways to either get music or do a daily song or something fun that suits your fancy
5. Philip, Morgan, Taylor, Olivia -- work on articles, briefs, other exciting things. Maybe tweet or instagram. So wild but not too wild.

4. Tiger — can we shape up the Moon Festival piece and push it out this week?
5. Olivia — how is that bucket list coming?
6. Everyone — what should we tweet? Some ideas from other places. PB's idea for polls/questions. What should we post on Facebook & instagram?

Day 4: Drafts due & working on articles & discussion

Who can record Tuesday's assembly?

Drafts to themavoice@gmail.com — editors edit

General Discussion (as time permits)
How are briefs coming? new brief idea for Sara?
How can we incorporate video, sound, and other fun items? Brainstorm ... no idea is too crazy.

Our final day!

Editors: re-read articles, check all graphics, push out content

Staffers: a little self-reflection

Please respond to the following questions, print out your answers, and hand it in to me by the end of class.

1. Please reflect on your best work this semester. What made the work good? What engaged you in the process?
2. Please reflect on a time when you were off your game. What happened? What did you need from me or an editor that could have helped you?
3. Discuss 5-7 ways that The Voice could draw readers to the website. Facebook, twitter, instagram, word of mouth, etc. Think big but keep it simple.
4. Look over the Briefs list and suggest 5-7 new ideas for next year. Think about what worked for you and what you didn't love. Remember that we need more adequate coverage in sports.
5. As a reader and staff member, what else would you like to see The Voice do? Article topics, article formats, you name it.
6. Any last questions, comments, concerns, complaints, suggestions, insights?
