I've been gone a couple days but now I'm back and I'm bringing an irony assignment along with me!
By next Monday you are going to submit an example of irony. I want you to find an example of irony in your own life, in the newspaper, in a magazine, on-line or in some other way. Identify a picture/image to represent the irony and copy/paste in to your document. Below the image offer a thoughtful, clear, detailed explanation of the image and why it is ironic. Be sure to identify the type of irony in your example. Also be sure to include a heading. 10 points if it is turned in correctly and on time. Here is my example again.
In the honors class we spent time discussing and hearing a successful example of an investigative journalism piece. The writings were pretty good, but there is some work to do. Our primary focus should be clearly identifying the topic we are writing about. It's hard to tell if the piece is organized and on topic if the topic isn't clearly stated. In addition we need to be sure to
-cite all our sources
-be sure our interviewees each shares unique information
-do research that strengthens the overall paper
-be sure the point you are trying to make is actually made
Bring those papers to school tomorrow. We are not finished with them yet.
A "Harrison Bergeron"-"The Pedestrian"-"Caged Bird" writing is coming either tomorrow or Wednesday. I have a picture for you. Ask me questions if you have any.
Book Fair Wednesday. Bring your money if you want to buy something.
Until next time...
