- Turning all articles in on time (if you can't make a deadline speak with the editors and Miss Bass).
- Be willing to listen and learn
- Step up and take photos
Do: Turn your articles in on time Follow the guidelines given Spice things up as much as you can (let's be real here, students hate reading news, so make it interesting) When writing names, the first time spell their wholename (John Deere) but from then on out, just use their last name (Deere) Keep paragraphs short Make direct quotes new paragraphs Be teachable
Don't: Put yourself into a story (except for a column) Use Mr. and Mrs. or any form of this Be difficult (this is a simple one, but makes a huge difference) Plagiarize or make information up Take a story you are not going to write
