I am canceling class, in order to encourage you to attend the Holocaust conference (Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday). 

There is no official assignment related to the conference, but you are welcome to use the conference as an opportunity to gather material for Ex 6 (Editorial).  I also encourage you to blog about the conference, in order to include for a future Wildcard portfolio entry.

Look in the "Opinion" or "Letters" section of any newspaper or magazine. 

Read and blog about a recent editorial -- published within the last month, at least 300 words long.  (I'm not asking you to look at short gossipy items, such as the Tribune-Review's "Laurels & Lances" feature.)

Quote from the editorial (and link to it if you can).

While I am asking you to write, for Ex 6, an editorial that relates to the academic discipline of English, for this assignment you can write about anything.
