Friday, May 7: Kleyn Guest Speaker

Guest Speaker Assignment: All journalism students must write a news report following the 5w/h system, or complete the following assignment instead:

Alternative assignment - Opinion/Editorial

Write an op/ed. piece about a what words mean. How valuable are they? How important? Think about the most powerful interaction you have had with words, be they yours or someone else's (JFK Speech, President Obama's Inauguration, Lou Gerhig's Farewell, A note written or sent to you, Mr. Fix's Homecoming Speech, etc....)....How can we use speech to make the world a better place, instead of lazily allowing our words to perform injurious acts?

Think about THE most memorable moment YOU have had with words (spoken or written).

Move me with the account or the article itself.
