What's Happening: 9.13.10

 Today, you will get your assignments for the first deadline. You will have approximately two weeks to complete this spread. TODAY you will need to begin your story document in which you list who will be interviewed, what questions they will be asked and what research you will need to complete in order to get your story done. This document should be named with your last name_name of spread. Share it with Wojo.

Need Recommendation? Seniors, if you need a recommendation from me, please collect the following in this order:

• you will need a manila folder with your first and last names printed on the tab. The entire packet goes in here
• Cover letter to explain what you want and when you want it. If you would like me to focus on something in particular, please indicate that in your cover letter. 
• Your current, complete resume
• List of current courses. This may be part of your cover letter OR on a separate sheet.
• An unofficial transcript
• You may include other information that might help me (such as details of activities outside of school) if you wish, but please put those behind the transcript.

I need at least two weeks' notice. Yes, yes, I know. All this hassle for a letter of recommendation? This makes my job SO much easier. I would strongly suggest that you prepare such a packet for anyone else who writes you a letter of recommendation.

 Note that the lunch schedule for the room AND the log in information for the SF Chronicle and New York Times have been moved to a sidebar.


Please come in the room at lunch (doesn't matter which one) if you need to work or have questions.
