WELCOME TO YOUR NEW CLASS BLOG!

Hello, gang! This is your new, shiny class blog!

We will use it extensively later in the semester, but for now we will use it for our DIVERSE SOURCES ASSIGNMENT as part of Story #2.

Once you've collected your interviews, you will go home and post them to the blog so all your classmates can see / use them. Use the format below as a general guideline.

You will interview 3 people and ask them each 4 questions and post all 3 people's quotes here. When you write the story, you will use 6 people total, whoever you want from the blog postings. If you have any questions at all, just email me :)

When you actually write your Story #2, NOT ALL THE INFO ABOVE WILL BE USED WHEN YOU DESCRIBE YOUR SOURCES. What do I mean by this? You won't reference to Rhodes as a poor Hispanic girl in your story, you will say she is a 22-year-old clerk at Valero studying microbiology . (Unless the story is about race/social classes, that info is unnecessary and slightly racist) The only reason we have included it here is to see HOW DIVERSE YOUR SOURCES ARE. So know the difference between the information you use IN the story and info you use to see how DIVERSE your story is.
