In quarter 3, we will start talking and writing feature articles.  To learn the difference in style from hard news articles, I want everyone to read these articles and be prepared to share and discuss what you've read.

We will dialog, not to summarize, but to analyze the tone, mood, and message of each article.

You can read with a partner, by yourself, or with support from the computer's audible feature but you must be reading.

PICK 5 to read

1. Martin Luther King Thing
2.  US schools with bad names
3. Tyreese gets teary-eyed
4. Janelle Monee on Sesame Street 
5. Vanity ain't fair
6. Skin tone equals smart?
7. Weed in D.C.
8. Yeezianity insanity 
9. Jonathan Ferrell sparks dialogue 
10. Rapper Nas teaches at Harvard
