Possible+News+Stories

This list shows news stories that were selected by Mr. Cox and Mrs. Cross for the 2008-09 News Story Project. The topics on this list would all make excellent candidates for news stories, but many more are possible. I will seek to approve a range of news stories within each class; in other words, we will not have every story be about Hurricanes or Earthquakes, for instance.
