1. You will have a test on current events and on the
Nelson Mandela tape tomorrow.
2. You have a new story due next Tuesday. Fill out the paperwork and turn into me today.
3. Quiz coming on this. You need to read this series of articles in
The New York Times.
Click here for this series.
You will see that it is ongoing and full of amazing detail. This is the kind of writing you should aspire to. You should be a reporter upon which no detail is wasted . . . and then artfully and thoughtfully edited.
These articles are going to win some prizes. PLUS, change some of the policies in New York City's treatment of the homeless, and especially homeless children. That is the role and function of a journalist: to shed a light on things that need to be fixed or to right wrongs.
I am going to quiz you on this series. You need to read in order to write well.
So THREE things going on and they are all big. Check Gradebook for their values.
