Current Events assignment observations
good afternoon all.
I have been reading the current events assignment turned in and I believe some of you are really getting the purpose of it as well as trying hard to really start examining author's craft.
However, some folks are still ignoring earlier comments made and leaving parts out.
You must identify varying parts of the article, analyze what the author has done with his/her writing and how effective it is for the reader. How do the author's choices affect how the reader understands the article?
a reflection is also very necessary... What did this article make you think of? Do you have questions about anything? What would you like to know more about? How can you use what you have noticed in your own writing?
Because of the amount of time we've lost in class over the last few weeks, Current Events assignment #3 will be due on October 27th instead of the 20th.

lead post
LEAD:-
COAL,the "dark fuel" may be the most visible villin of global warming,but its use is up and projected to get higher.
WHAT KIND OF LEAD IS IT AND WHY?:-
i think its an effective lead because it keeps people aware of what are they doing.
