LA Youth Assignment
Your final exam is to read one of the articles in the January/February issue of LA Youth and write the accompanying assignment. I have posted the questions under Class Assignments. Do not simply answer the question. Tell a story. The idea is to generate potential stories for the op/ed or feature pages. Use the LA Youth story as your example.
It is due by the end of class on Tuesday. For those of you who have already turned something in, I will give it back to you on Monday and ask you to read each other's work and give each other feedback on how to improve it.
You should also read the Feature Writing file posted in the box.
