In your opinion, what is the most newsworthy
(valuable) story in your Scholastic news? Why is it important? What is it
about?

What is the cover story about? Summarize it. How
well is the story covered in your opinion. Does it leave you asking questions?
If so what?
3.
It has been said, “one picture is worth a thousand
words.” What picture in your magazine applies to this statement? In other
words, which picture is most expressive? Why? What is the story that goes along
with the picture? Cut the picture out and attach it to your answers.
4.
