Let's compare the work of each other and see what we did well, and what ideas we can get from others. Also, examine how the mediums complement each other: the preview does just that; the tweet stream allows you to follow what was previewed, as it actually happens; and the recap wraps it all up.
BTW, unless you received an email from me noting a specific grade, your grade for the Web post and Twitter exercises was 4.0 on each, with each equaling a practice story in final grade weight. (Future assignments will be graded more specifically and be of higher weight, though). Here we go ...

Jason R.: hockey press conference preview and recap and tweets (no hash tag)
Fine job of each element complementing the other, but we're missing hyperlinks in the preview (two were required) and a unifying hash tag for the tweets.
*****
Lauren Y.: hockey game on TV preview and recap and tweets #wingscaps200
Nice tweet stream, but we're missing a lede tweet saying what the following tweet stream will be about, something like, Red Wings ready to face off against Washington; follow play-by-play here, or something like that. The online stories were great, but let's make sure we're still doing due diligence in fact-checking; we said pot-game when I think we meant post-game.
*****
Romero H.: TV talk show preview and recap and tweets #jrn200firsttake
Again, we need a lede tweet. Like a story, we need to let people know right away what they're reading about. While with live-tweeting we can't get to end result, we can get to what we're following, like: Follow along as Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith debate the day in sports on First Take, or something like that. Nice use of hyperlinks, but let's get greater variety of sources other than Wikipedia, like team home pages, ESPN bios, highlights from ESPN and/or YouTube, etc.

Mary A.: roomie playing video games preview and recap and tweets #GaylePlaysZelda
Nice job here; a preview that lets people know what to expect; tweets that take us through the play-by-play; and a recap that sums up what the tweets had spread out.
*****
Kelsey F.: sister's bed time preview and recap and tweets #haleyfallasleep
Note how the recap post isn't simply a continuation of the preview post; the recap has its own lede and starts over with first attribution, etc. It's not just splitting one story in half; it's one story, and then a separate follow-up story. Great job here except for the typo that mushed together the sister's first and last name in the preview post; we can't proof social media because it's in real time, but we have to give the same level of diligence to online stories as we do print stories.
*****
Emma B.: band practice preview and recap and tweets #lifebeforeband
A nice overall job, but two big problems: one, the topic was one we participated in, and it was supposed to be something we were observing. Second, the tweet stream is again missing a lede tweet.
*****
Asha D.: TV show preview and recap and tweets #tgitb322
Here, we went waaaaaay beyond the 12-tweet minimum. And that's great! Use as many tweets as needed to fully tell the story.
*****
Meg D.: apple crisps preview and recap and tweets #momsapplecrisp
The lede tweet here is pretty vague; again, let's clearly establish what we are about to tweet about. Also, click on the hashtag and see how the author's audience jumped in and joined the conversation by using the same hash tag. That's one way social media allows for interactivity with the audience WHILE the news is still happening.
*****
Maddie S.: baseball game on TV preview and recap and tweets #jacquiewatchesgame7
Nice mix of hyperlink material here. While in print it's not okay to borrow from other media, it's okay in hyperlinking because you're not taking material from other media; you're sending readers to that other media. It's not stealing; it's referring.
*****
Anna S.: roomie dinner preview and recap and tweets #thegreatdinnerdebate
A couple of issues here: first, don't forget basic values we're trying to carry over from print, like fully identifying people on first reference. The tweet stream is missing that. second, we're short on hyperlinks here (the minimum was two per post) and we need to embed the posts inside of the text, like with the other examples sofar here.
*****
Emily N.: student studying preview and recap and tweets #kpattstudy
A nice tweet stream here. With the blog posts, the ledes are too similar; while the preview is correct in ledeing with what was expected to happen -- having to study -- the recap should have gone to end result and ultimate outcome: how did studying go?
*****
Chelsea S.: waiting for bus preview and recap and tweets (no hash tag)
With the tweets, we have a good basic stream, but some errors: first, the lede tweet is too vague. Second, using MSU: is misleading, since that seems to indicate attribution of a source. Your source here is not MSU; it's your own observation, and we don't need attribution for things we witness. Third, the hash tag is missing. Fourth, it's only 10 tweets, and the minimum was 12.
*****
Travis D.: football game on TV preview and recap and tweets #shutdownbrees
Again, we need a lede tweet: The Saints are about to take on the Panthers in Thursday night football, or something like that.
*****
Sergio M-B.: study at library preview and recap and tweets #brandysatclublib
A nice job all around, with pictures adding a new medium to the tweet stream.
