Thursdays Journalism Blog The fabulous and exciting KERNEL day. We cruise the news and check out what stories grab our interest. We do this online and on TV. We blog our new story ideas. We have lots of fun.
Fridays Every Friday, we pitch our enterprise story ideas in a small group setting. The students have all blogged their ideas the day before (even absent students can do them online from home). We gather and pitch our ideas. I project the blog, and the students toss around suggestions. The Managing Editor runs the discussion and takes notes.
