We will be writing political editorials in class this week and as homework. In class we will be writing an "institutional" editorial where you will be endorsing a candidate as if you are the New York Times or the Hartford Courant. Those of you who were in class last week know that we are looking at the FIVE major candidates for U.S. Senate.
To be prepared for class, you must:
1. Re-read CHAPTER 4 in FINK on "institutional editorials."
2. Google the websites of the five candidates that we looked at briely in class: Richard Blumenthal; Merrick Alpert, Linda McMahon, Peter Schiff, Rob Simmons.
3. On each site, watch the videos, read the position papers, read the news articles. Make sure you are familiar WITH EACH CANDIDATE enough so that you could write about that person. Google the names of the candidates and read some recent news articles about the campaign. They had a debate this past week so you should be able to find something. Spend a couple of hours on this.
4. Make sure you have done the three blog entries for the week.
5. If you are not coming to class YOU MUST CONTACT ME.
