Profile Pitch

Dear Professor Johnson,

I would like to interview Celia Kim for a profile article. She is a teacher at Museum Magnet School (P.S. 191). Every day she is exposed to a class of curious, growing and she teaches the perfect subject to foster their understanding of the upcoming election: social studies. The class often engages in conversations of the real world current events.

This will be the first presidential election she has in her teaching career. I will ask her how she feels about the atypical nominees: a businessman with no political background and a woman. In addition, one main focus of the article is how does she feel about the candidates and how does she handle her biases when discussing the candidates and their positions on issues. Does she try to steer the children into believing her views? Does she not offer any personal views and let the children do the discussion themselves? What are her reactions to the young minds’ discussion in the face of this atypical election?
