Journalism Homework

Post comments here or write your paragraph to turn in tomorrow.

In a complete paragraph, explain why style, language level, connotation and denotation, and/or precise word choice matter when writing for mass media?

Welcome back...again

Tonight's homework is just a click away.

Strike Back

Don't forget that while the teachers are on strike your thinking and learning must continue!

African American Literature & Journalism:

In formal letter format, explain to one of these people why you agree or disagree with the strike. Be sure to address the letter to the appropriate person(s) and that your argument is clear with evidence to support it. Use this time to investigate and weigh-in on the issues.

Check out these links (the required list):
CPS, teachers fail to reach deal to prevent strike
Chicago teachers strike for the first time in 25 years
Chicago Teachers will strike today (1987)
Union Press: CPS fails to Negotiate an Agreement

Write a letter to one of the following people:

• Rahm Emanuel, mayor of Chicago
• Jean-Claude Brizard, Chief Executive Officer of Chicago Public Schools
• Karen Lewis, president of the Chicago Teachers Union
• or parents of students who attend Chicago Public Schools

You must use at least three sources, two from the required list above. 

If you have African American Literature and Journalism this is considered one assignment that will be graded for both. 

Use this rubric to know how you will be graded. The page should be typed and 5 paragraphs; they are worth 20 pts.

Post comments here, if you have questions.
