The text should be a third person account answering a question about their topic for the book. Area editors: please let Brian or Adam know if anyone in your group still does not have a complete 350 – 5oo word piece.
• Everyone should spend time completing a first draft of their additional book piece. Everyone must submit an article with processed photos for publishing. Everyone also has to submit a companion piece: either a 150 – 200 word sidebar, a visual (such as a graph) which gives information about their area of town, or a piece of art that may be used in the book. The first draft of this piece should be ready for critique Tuesday.
