Thursday, November 4

More Terkel! We'll watch some short interviews with Studs himself, then move on to workshop of your own Terkel-inspired pieces.

Your next piece won't be due until Thursday, Nov. 18. It will be a Q&A piece. Base your work on the CITY PAPER handout I'll give you today in class. Pick a timely, news-worthy subject. AP Style. Grammar. All of it counts. Approximately 500-700 words. Bring an e-copy and a hard copy to class on November 18.

Also begin reading Joan Didion. I'll lecture a bit on her next week. We'll be focusing mostly on news next week, though, so be sure to read the headlines and follow the big stories.
