This is an activity we will do in class. Bring your clickers and AP handbooks.
As I noted during class, I wasn't recording the whole time. But if you'd like to consult these partial recordings to augment your notes, you're welcome to do so.

Part 2.mp3 (very short)

(If time permits, we will do this activity in class. Initially it was on the syllabus as a reading assignment.)
From local reaction to a national or global story, to community news.

We'll do some role-playing. Bring 3 questions that you would ask if you had the chance to meet a public figure.
The public figure would be the university president.

During the quiz, I was tweaking the copy of the text I had prepared. It turns out that, when I shut down the podium, I didn't save a copy of the revised text.
I did record the press conference, however, so here is the MP3.

Add final revisions to Google Docs submission by 9am tomorrow.
For each assignment that is marked in the daily course plan as an "assigned text" (or just "text" on the "Outline" page), follow these steps as part of your participation grade.
- Read: Read the assigned text.
- React: 24 hours before we discuss an assigned text in class, post your Agenda Item (a brief quote from the assigned reading, and a brief note explaining what you'd say when called on in class) posted to your blog, following the trackback procedure (which I'll explain when the time comes). Even if you haven't finished the assigned reading, please post your agenda item on time, so your peers will have something to talk about.
- Respond: Before class time, I'd like to see everyone post 2-4 comments on peer blogs, but our class is small enough that I think we should all follow each other's blogs.
- Reflect: Bring to class a half-page reflection paper that mentions by name a student whose agenda item helped you notice or question something about the assigned reading. I encourage you to post that half-page reflection on your blog, but doing so is optional. (Your upcoming portfolio assignments will ask you to include examples of blog entries that show your ability to reflect deeply, to launch a good discussion, etc., so it will be to your benefit to plan to publish longer reflections on topics that really interest you.)
Interview a partner, for a 400-word profile; rough draft is due online Monday.

A creative expression of your relationship to the news. Have you ever "made the news" -- as a subject or as a reporter? How do we, as consumers, "make the news" that is offered to us?
