Week 11
Nov. 1 * * *
TOPIC: Design basics (print and Web). Storyboards. Story packages: What are they? How do you make one?
DUE at 9 a.m.: Photo 2 (see assignment) AND Audio 2 (see assignment) -- upload and send me the links via e-mail BY DEADLINE
READ: Journalism stories: A multimedia approach (Part 1), by Mindy McAdams (Jan. 21, 2007)
EXAMINE: Two story packages
- Liberians in Minnesota: A story package from the Star Tribune newspaper
- The segment "Wild Horses and Celebrations," in The Ancient Way: A story package produced by students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Santiago de Compostela (NOTE: You need to find the title of this segment on the Stories list, on the left side of the screen)
View and take notes on both of these. The Liberians package is very large; don't try to read and watch ALL of it. The "Horses" segment is not very long; please watch the ENTIRE "Horses" segment at least once.
BLOG: Post your notes about the assigned reading and the two Examine links above (optional post; will not be graded). You should also make notes about what you learn during class about planning for story packages.
