In-class editing
Today we will devote most of the class to editing activities. Be sure to save "versions" of the files you edit; use your tracking system to keep organized.

Work on two "articles" for your newsletter

 * Copy-edit one on paper - print, markup, and then key the changes and save as a new file
 * Copy-edit one electronically, using "track changes" in MS Word
 * Ask a peer to check your edits
 * Keep track of editing "decisions" with your style sheet
 * Keep track of editing "decisions" with your style sheet


 * Newsletter planning: update your "Newsletter Planning" document**
 * Do you have further content to acquire? Have you resolved any permissions / copyright issues?
 * Do you have an estimate of the number of articles and pages your newsletter will contain?
 * Do you need to save space for images?
 * What is your title?
 * Do you need a table of contents?
 * Will you have multiple authors listed, with biographical statements or attributions for previously printed articles?


 * Sketch**
 * Using pencil and paper or MS-Paint, make a sketch of how you want your pages to look. You may use other newsletters or any publication you esteem as a model.
