Hello Class:
I hope this note finds you well and that your fall 2011 semester has started out in a positive fashion. It was great meeting you all last week, and I hope you are looking forward to this class. I know that I am looking forward to it, very much. This seems like a great group and I think we will have fun and we will learn a lot along the way. Just wanted to update you on some things regarding class, with a few reminders:
1. Remember that your first article critique is due. Please be sure to hand it in at the beginning of class.
2. We will spend the first part of class talking about your critiques. Make sure to include the article link. I plan on putting the article up on the overhead, and having each student talk about what they liked and did not like about it. This will get us discussing good writing and bad writing.
3. Please be prepared to update me on your event coverage schedule. We will discuss any potential problems and solutions in class.
4. We will spend the second part of the class discussing interviewing and interview techniques. I believe this is going to be an important element in getting you started in your reporting adventures.
5. I will be posting the contents of this email on my Class Blog. Please check back at some point on Monday or Monday night for some discussion points on interviewing. While this will start out as a "boring Coach Pete lecture" I will be asking for and expecting class input. Remember: I don't like to talk for 2.5 hours. We want you to take an active part in the discussions.
Lastly, please check your email and the blog frequently as I will be communicating with you all in that manner.
Take care and see you soon,
Coach Pete
