New York Times Article
Theme:New York
Our group selected New York as our theme. It was a good theme since it encompassed a variety of articles to choose from. Also, our theme applied to everyone in our class because we all go to school in New York. The group leader came up with the idea, and everyone else completed an article summary. Although, my individual article was actually based on New Jersey it held ties to New York politics and affairs. It was a New York Times contributor writing about the progress made in New Jersey. My individual role was to scout an article that applied to the overall group theme and write about it. I, like all of my group members worked independently to achieve a greater, more complete front page. In all, we completed, and presented the project thoroughly and achieved our point. This experience enhanced my understanding of news literature. This experience rekindled a belief that news literature can be impactful in a positive way. News literature is usually about horrible happenings or mundane matters. But in this occurrence the news is cheerful and important.. This article could create momentum, and it could inspire other people to go and try to achieve their goals. In all, this experience started out as something to get done, but it evolved to something to learn. It was a good exercise, and I understand why the school demands freshman to complete it every year.
