Read the editorial section of the newspaper and choose one article which
deals with a topic which interests you.  Prepare an essay that summarizes
the main ideas, identifies the author's point of view, and gives your own
opinion on the topic.

The article (or a copy of the article) and your finished essay should brought
with you to our next session in a folder and labeled with the date and name
of the edition of the newspaper.  If you are happy with the result, after editing
a final draft, you can respond as a "Letter To The Editor."  You may choose
to send your response to the newspaper to be published.
