Writing Skills III, Journalism, Homework for Week 5

For homework, please:

1. Complete your second essay of the semester. This can be an entry in your article portfolio, a piece of straight journalism or your own "What I'm really thinking" essay. (I encourage everyone in this class to produce one piece of straight journalism this semester.)

2. Find some good introductory sentences and at least one good conclusion in the journalism you read this week (can be any language). Be prepared to contribute next class.

3. These are more straight-reporting approachs to Cruz topics, but are also not perfect: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/18/us/politics/ted-cruz-conservative.html
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/30/us/politics/indiana-republican-transgender-rights-bathroom.html

4. In addition, review these two grammatical concepts BEFORE writing:
