Journalism Class Homework - Due 12/16/05
Each journalism student, saving only our photo journalist, needs to select one other student from the school population. Your subject must be another student and they must be someone you know only casually. It would be better if they were a complete stranger. No friends, roommates or significant others may be chosen for this project.
Once you have chosen your subject, you will need to approach them and arrange for an interview and, this is the important part, permission to accompany them home for an hour or so (preferably with your photojournalist also at hand). Coffee, lunch, a fast space battle... whatever appeals to you both. Please apply to me for the appropriate permissions to leave campus, as this is a sanctioned school activity.
I want to see a 400 word article on your chosen subject as a well-rounded person - not as a student at Fandom High. I also will require the text of the interview. Choosing someone who has already been featured in any public interview or student newspaper article is frowned upon. I want to see fresh material, please.
Each article must be accompanied by two photographs. One needs to be a standarized head shot, and our Photojournalist will be responsible for those. It is permissable for her to set either appointments or put aside a day wherein she will be available to take those photographs. It will be your responsibility to see to it that the subject shows up. The second photograph needs to be of something significant to the subject and the article (hence it being a good idea to ask the photojournalist to accompany you on your field trip - if she cannot fit you into her schedule, other arrangements can be made through me).
By 11/28/05, I want to see a comment here with the name of your subject, the date of your trip/interview and an assurance that either our photojournalist can accompany you or notice that you need an alternate method of photography.
By 12/16/05, I want a copy of your interview, the resultant 400 word article (and that's an exact word count) and the two required photographs on my desk. Late work will not be accepted without a notice before the deadline and a really, really good excuse. You have a month to get this done. Extensions should not be required and will not be granted.
