Lesson:
We started the class period discussing the student's journalist experiences, particularly how difficult it was for them to write objectively. This sparked a long discussion which took all our class time.
Later this week, I will post a summation of all the classes' feedback and discussions about journalism.
Assignment:
The assignment is just the opposite of objective neutrality. Students are to write a newspaper editorial OR persuasive essay taking and defending a strong personal position.
Since most of the class is also in the Starting Points class, they may combine the two by writing a five-paragraph essay that fulfills both class assignments.
