- Please bring in two copies of an “avatar” (on paper!) to represent you on our class PROPAGANDA board. It can be NO LARGER than 1 inch by 1 inch.

- Think of five possible newspaper stories one might write about the events that take place in Act 1. Write headlines and ledes for those stories. (Hint: Don’t forget WWWWWH and Why should the reader care? and Put the News first!)

- Decide what role you would like to have for the first issue of the newspaper. Everyone has to write three newspaper stories unless s/he also has an administrative role (editor, copyeditor, photoeditor, layout design). Administrators only have to write two stories in addition to their administrative role.
