This planning sheet is meant to be used with the rest of the packaging lesson materials I have posted on slide share. It is used both in the group practice and for the lesson project. Students will use this sheet to plan out their packages (stories, alt copy, photos, etc) and sketch their spreads. For this lesson project they will be expected to turn in a NEATLY filled out maestro sheet for both their sports package and their feature package as part of their project grade.
