May 12 - Senior Issue Ideas and Execution of Senior Issue

Since the profile assignment pretty much died with a dull thud, you guys are going to have to organize the senior issue on your own. 

It will be 8 pages.  Ashely and Jene will do it with InDesign.  It will include huge coverage of prom. 

Organize yourselves.  I am going to stand by and help as you need it.

20 pts.  Due at end of period TODAY.

Print this article. This is masterful writing on a subject that could be boring if not handled in the right way.

• Highlight everywhere you get a real picture of these two teachers.  
• Circle where the writer uses compare and contrast. 

On back page write a three paragraph summary of your thoughts on this article.  It made the NYTIMES, so it is defacto well-written.  It is a small story.  How did they make it resonate?
