We will begin working on our ethics / journalism unit. By week's end we will
have made significant progress toward completing a "tabloid style" journal.
We will explore how photo alterations and the lack of fact-checking can
reduce the reliability of articles. We will examine ways to test what we
read for validity. We will also improve our photoshop editing skills by
producing the tabloid product.

While I prefer you work in groups, you may opt to work alone.


You have been hired to create the first Oak Grove tabloid. This tabloid
should include stories, advertisements and of course many doctored photos to
illustrate the articles and ads. You will work in teams of no greater than
four people. You are responsible for writing articles and advertisements
that will fill up 2 posterboards. All work will be done in black and white.
You will be responsible for supplying the posterboard. These will be hung
outside the classroom for all to enjoy, and will earn you up to 100 project
points. A rubric will be discussed in class.

You may use any tool that is available on your classroom computers to
accomplish this work
