October 6, 2015 - News Engagement Day Assignment ALL CLASSES (9 pts)

I am sorry I have to be out of school today. It is News Engagement Day and I want you to look at the different news stories on the front of both the NYTimes and the Washington Post.

There are weather-related stories and war and gun shootings and also beautiful/creative events like sports, fashion, music, art, nature, etc.

My biggest hope is that all of you will be engaged with the world and know what is going on. It is a beautiful place.

Knowledge is also power, so KNOW what is going on.

News in Fashion is kind of cool.

Fifty of our Best Stories from the NYTimes: Click here.I want you to scroll down and look at the pictures and how much information they convey from the visuals along.

ASSIGNMENT: Write up three short paragraphs about what you read and what it makes you wonder about. For example, how can you localize a story from what is going on and give it a JFK slant? Just don't bore me. Show original thought. You bring much to the table, so express your opinion and what questions you have about what you have read on the front of the newspaper.

DO NOT BORE ME!!
