April 26 -- Warm-up



Click here: The Power of Words

The picture above was in my family's old farmhouse over break.  Don't know why it is there, but it struck me that so many things have changed since I was a small girl there visiting my wonderful great grandmother and dealing with my fear of her mean rooster.  Now they are drilling for natural gas just behind the mountain and everyone is worried that the well water will go bad with their hydro-fracking chemicals.  I was trying to think of ways that you could fashion an ad campaign to make people aware of the need for clean water and a journalism educator sent the above link to the list serv I follow.  I am still looking for the right words on the water, but this video illustrates the power of the RIGHT words.
 
Think about someway you would change something with just the right words.  Give an example to the class when we discuss.
