- Prepare for our third local news quiz. These in-class writing prompts encourage us to study local news sources for essay ideas. In particular, between now and Monday, browse:
The Coloradoan
The Rocky Mountain Collegian
The Denver Post's coverage of Denver and the West
Our #CO150 Twitter feed
- Read again one of the essays you were assigned in class on Friday, November 20 (by Orlean, Malone, or Maddocks) and prepare for a group discussion and presentation of the text on Monday by reviewing questions shown in class (now at drop.io). Reading each of these essays will be helpful in understanding the Local Inquiry/Public Essay, but if you weren't in class on November 20, focus on either Orlean or Malone's text.
- Continue pursuing field research in support of your Local Inquiry/Public Essay. Samples of previous essays posted online should also inform your writing process. A first draft of the essay will be due in class Monday, December 7.
