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

Homework for 5.21

All
Look at the MA Handbook, specifically the style section in the back, and come up with 7-10 items to add to this section. Think of mistakes you've/we've made often (maybe how to write numbers, how to cite a source) and how we can add that to the style book.

Editors
Create a tutorial for use next year. This tutorial should be easy to understand and illustrative of quality writing. Be sure to include:

1. Five musts for a successful article in your section.
2. A good example to share with the class.

Others
If you could do things differently for The Voice, what ten things would you do? Be realistic and concrete.
