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

Day 16: Articles due & FA case law

1. Articles due
A team: First draft (google docs)
B team: Final draft (to mavoice.org)
C team: Second draft (google docs)

2. Team check-ins.
How are things going? Graphics? Interviews? Next article to write?

3. What's your brief for Thursday?
Any questions? Everyone ready to go?

4. First Amendment presentations

 Groups:
1. Chiara, Dorothy, Stephen: BOE v Barnette, Bethel v Frasier
2. Kai, Becca, Michael: Hazelwood v Kuhlmeier, Morse v Frederick
3. Taylor, Dylan, Maya: Leonard Law, Tinker v Des Moines, Owasso v Falvo
4. Jesse, Jake, Henry: Draudt v Wooster, Dean v Utica

Each group will create a google presentation or prezi (something I can link to on the class blog) of the student case law assigned. Your presentation should include the Who, What, When, Where, Why and How (think background, problem, constitutional conflict, the suit, the decision, etc). Make it clear how this case relates to scholastic journalism as a whole and how it (if it does) specifically affects The MA Voice.

You must have a bibliography. You CANNOT use wikipedia as a source. Instead, try www.oyez.org, or www.splc.org. These are just two solid sources, but they'll get you headed in the right direction.

 This presentation is to be worked on IN CLASS ONLY! Max is 20 slides. Make these presentations amazing, awe-inspiring, so thrilling that people in other classes will want to learn about student press case law! Think photos and graphics and interactive fun. Of course, every single solitary source must be cited. All of it.

You will have three class periods to work on this. I will "collect" the presentations at the end of class next Monday (March 11). We will review them on Wednesday March 13.
