“What’s Developing”: Assignment Details
Each magazine assignment has two stories; the stories are divided between three columns.
Column estimate: About 430-445 words per column (based on sample stories).
You decide when to end the first story and when to begin the second story somewhere in the
second column.
Simply make the title heading for story 2 wherever you decide to begin it by typing a headline,
selecting it, and then clicking on “Make Header”.
The text does not wrap between columns. You must conclude a sentence or end with a word at
the bottom of a column and then begin in the next column intentionally.
You can write your story in your favorite word processing program and then cut and paste it into
the magazine. Be careful at the end of the column since it won’t wrap!
Click on the link that says LAUNCH MAGAZINE. This is where you will find the magazine. The
HELP button has the instructions that you will need. The MAKE HEADER button is actually a toggle
button so that if you change your mind you can select that text and make it normal size text again.
How do I submit the “What’s Developing” assignment
You do not have to do anything special to submit the newspaper itself. Just click the Save
button. When the due date arrives the latest version will be automatically submitted.
In order to have a grading rubric associated with your newspaper you MUST go to the What’s
Developing drop box where you view the rubric and put a message in the drop box that you have
completed the assignment. Once you do this:
(1) ANGEL creates a link between the assignment and the gradebook.
(2) The transfer of the grade occurs once the assignment is graded.
(3) You can go to this rubric and view your comments and see which cells were filled in for your
assignment.
