Assignments for Tuesday's class

Hello again everyone:

Here is what you need to have prepared for class this week (Tuesday, September 13, 2011):

1. Event coverage schedule needs to be handed in. We will discuss your event coverage schedules and detect any potential flaws or problems with them.

2. Mock press conference questions due. You must prepare in written form (typed or handwritten) three (3) questions to ask in class about the following "mock press conference" topic, as discussed last week:

In-class press conference: Marist College just promoted long-time men’s cross country and track coach Pete Colaizzo from a part-time coaching position to the full-time Director of Track/Cross Country position. This press conference is set to announce this promotion. Your job is to prepare at least 3 (or more) pertinent questions to ask Coach Pete in the press conference. Bring in your 3 (or more) questions in printed form and ready to be handed in.

3. Discussion of real-life sports column from four years ago: Read a sports column that was published in December 2007 (posted on blog on Sunday evening, the previous post from this one). While you do not have to hand anything in with this assignment, I will go around the room and as for everyone's feedback.

Note on last week's class: Thank you for your active and energetic participation. It was a class that involved a fair amount of lecturing -- not my favorite -- but it went by quickly and it went by well. Thanks again, and see you Tuesday night.
