CONTENT // TELLING THE STORY
Content ideas and story details come directly from activities, events and issues.
PHOTOS AND STORIES TAKE THE READER TO THE ACTIVITY OR EVENT.
1. Attend the activity or event: First-hand observation can help you bring readers into the same experience you have had. Look, don’t just see. Listen, don’t just hear. Record the ways in which you see others act and react.
2. Arrive early and stay late: Some of the most exciting angles of coverage of an activity or event come from behind-the-scenes.
3. Ask Questions: While in attendance, consider everyone else a potential source. When looking for story specifics, seek out information that is new or different. How did the event differ from last year? In what different ways did the participants experience the activity or event?
4. Emphasize details: More details will give your story credibility and interest. Isolate and include details that are colorful and not obvious. Sharp details take readers to the activity or event with sights, sounds, smells, textures, tastes and emotions.
5. Include the five Ws and H: Fundamental to professional journalism, the who, what, when, where, why and how also provide the foundation for the yearbook information gathering. However, don’t simply ask six questions; rather formulate a lengthy list of questions based on the five Ws and H.

Journalistic Code of Ethics
Class Policies
1. Being prepared for class is critical for success. Expect some form of homework each day. Deadlines are critical and late work is not acceptable. Any late work may be completely rejected at the instructors discretion and if it is accepted then the grade reductions will be determined at the instructors discretion with consideration given to the type of work/assignment, kind of deadline given, the students overall history and engagement. If work is accepted late, the following may apply: one letter grade deduction per day late and any work turned in more than four days late may not receive more than 50% credit.
2. All work must be typed unless otherwise directed. If you are using the schools computers and printers plan your time and print your work well in advance of class. Deadlines for work require being in class on time or work will be considered late. Note printing or working on assignments during other high school or college class time is not acceptable.
3. Online portfolio’s must be published on time. Instructor screenshots your assignments and/or online pages when assignments are due. Failure to publish your work by hitting the publish command will result in late work and may receive a zero score. Additionally failure to document, title and/or backup online work as directed may result in a zero score.
4. This course has a peer accountability and a student leadership component. Though work is collaborative in nature all students are scored individually. Group dynamics are always considered by the instructor but it is the students responsibility to make an appointment with the instructor to discuss any group issues that teams are unable to resolve on their own. The instructor is always available to assist teams through problems. There are multiple leadership opportunities within the class but at no time do students score other students. However, students do edit, critique and motivate one another and peer accountability is woven into the class structure. (Please note: all people elected or appointed to leadership roles must maintain high standards, sign contracts and maintain school wide contracts and grades.)
Class Expectation:
Plagiarism is never acceptable and will be met with disciplinary action. Please be advised that only the photographer that
has taken a photograph has the right to publish the photograph or claim it as his/her own. Giving or receiving a
photograph from another person for class assignments and scores is strictly prohibited.
Cell Phones are prohibited. In compliance with DUAA policy cell phone use in class is not permitted which includes
ringing or vibrating phones. Make sure your phone is silenced before entering the room. In accordance with school
policy cell phones and/or other technology used in classrooms without permission may be confiscated and returned when
the instruct deems appropriate (end of class or end of day or when the parent retrieves the device from the office).
Expect to be held accountable to high standards in all work. Students must maintain the highest integrity in all work the
publish. Each student is to exam and proof all work with extreme care as they publish in print or online. In some cases
errors in publishing may result in disciplinary action.
Attention to detail is critical. When publishing for the yearbook or personal assignments following directions, maintaining
proper file names, backups for all work, and documenting proof of ownership are all required. Additionally students are
obligated to exercise good taste and fairness to the school community in published work. Failure to do so may result
in lesser scores and may lead to disciplinary action.
No food or drink is permitted in the classroom in accordance with University policy.
Maintain DUAA core values at all times..
