Wednesday, Oct. 7 Agenda

}Bell Ringer: What do you still need?

}Final class research time (+/- 45 min)
You need to have at least one video that you are using as a resource.  Look through the videos on BBC and Reuters before going to YouTube or just searching the web
Remember, you are going to become a person with this perspective, so get as much information as you can to help you write AS a/the person in the situation/event/issue
}AoW Discussion
}Research Writing Project guidelines
}First Person –you ARE the person (I, me, my, we)

Diary entries
Letters to someone
