Political Non-Bias

Oh, politics enrages us,
makes foes of you and me,
but write about the campaign here,
without your biases.

Post an entry about the campaign in a totally balanced, issues paper-esque way. Also, note my mighty slant rhyme. Bonus points of you know what slant rhyme is.

Conference Appointments

Virtual sign-up sheet.

This is where I'll put up what times people have requested to meet with me, just so the class knows what times are no longer available.

Note: you must email me to set a time, if you try to set an appointment by posting a time on here, I probably won't get it.

BONUS

Write a short profile on Monday's sub, Martha Pitts. Be as vividly descriptive as possible. You didn't interview her (I don't think), so concentrate on describing her based on your observations.

Profile of the Exquisite Corpse office

Paste your one-page profile of the office here. Make you writing as vivid and colorful as you can. Put us in that room.

Profile Mr. Brinson

Paste your profile of DeWitt into a comment post and let it fly! It won't be hard for me to check to make sure you have at least 250 words, so don't shirk.

Remember, you cannot use these words: extremely, really, somewhat, it, is, or was.

Good luck.

Questions for DeWitt

Post your three questions for DeWitt. If someone already has posted a question you were going to ask, think of another one. You need to have at least two unique questions (questions that no one has posted).

Here's how the interview will work. 10 of you will interview DeWitt at a time (the other 10 will be with me). You need to have your notebook out, pen ready. Try to record his responses, yes, but also his body language, his voice inflections, his tone of voice. What he looks like. What you think is significant. Anyone can just rehash an interview. You guys should focus on really wringing the details out of your 20 minutes with DeWitt. Pick out every small, unique, and important detail that you can.

Chris, don't use your magic pen.

You guys are going to be writing mini-profiles for your homework assignment, so really focus on getting as much information as you can. Vivid details. You're just harvesting information at this point. You'll sort through it as you write your short profile of DeWitt.
