DUE THIS THURSDAY
1. Post your tenth blog entry by midnight. Include a photo with a well-written, informative caption that includes a verb. This is the last one if you have done them all and are happy with your grades. Otherwise, you may do two more and drop your lowest two grades.

2. Read the handout on links.

3. Turn in one sidebar for each of your zine stories. Look at http://cronkitezine.asu.edu/winecountry.html, http://cronkitezine.asu.edu/yumaprison.html and other examples on the Cronkite Zine (http://cronkitezine.asu.edu).

4. Find the URLs of links for your zine stories.

5. Find one good pull quote for each of your zine stories. If your stories are long, find two.

6. If you have a long story and it doesn’t have subheads to break up the text, add subheads.

Optional: If you’re not fond of the head or deck that came with the story, you may craft a better head and deck. A deck is a mini-explanation that appears under the title, especially one that is a bit cryptic.

7. By next Tuesday, bring in at least one sidebar for your story. We will review how to write a sidebar.

OPTIONAL: If you want to raise the grade on your personal Web site, put the revision in your student folder and give Carol the checklist AND her comments by next Thursday, November 9.

DUE NEXT TUESDAY

1. TURN IN one sidebar for your zine story if it is short or two sidebars if it is long. For more information and an example, go to the Sidebars section of our class Web site.
