Post the article that you’ve found and would like to discuss during our second to last class. Also bring in a printed, paper copy. It should be something like 1000-3000 words in length, in the style of an investigative journalism piece or an opinion piece that is grounded in facts–from a reputable source (NY Times, Wired, The Atlantic, etc.). Post it to the site before 10pm the night before class (so 10pm on April 19th). As we discussed in class today, you do not need to write the essay mentioned on the syllabus–that way you can spend more time focusing on you final project.
Post the title, publication, and author in addition to pasting in the URL. Don’t worry about trying to make your URLs into links–just paste the URL text into your comment.
