Although some of you have been doing a good job managing and contributing to your blogs, some of you have not. You know who you are. I have decided to try something a little bit different for this last week of the fourth six weeks.
Your assignment will be as follows:
You will write a reflection piece concerning the unfortunate, but alarming, shooting incidents occurring in schools throughout America. These incidents aren't normal occurrences in other countries, and yet-- they're becoming quite frequent in America.
For this assignment, I want a serious tone.
I'd like for every member of each blog-- or, all journalism students-- to reflect on this important, yet sad topic. Write about the factors you believe are contributing to the rise of these unfortunate incidents. You can retrace the past and see where this tragic trend started, and where things are now. Feel free to do some research, if you have to, but your post is not a research paper. Write about how you feel about these incidents and how you believe we, as a country, can help alleviate these incidents from occurring in the future. From the actions of individuals, to ways our society can help remedy this crisis, reflect on moving forward positively. This will be a reflective post.
Thus, reflect on how where this all started. Reflect on the factors that lead to these unfortunate tragedies, reflect on American culture, reflect on possible solutions to remedy our present and our future, reflect on what this says of our country as a whole.
This will be two test grades for Journalism class. Thus, I am asking for 800 to 1,000 words for this post.
