The New Yorker
Lynne's activity was thought provoking and well- assembled. I think that proposing a challenging activity to high school students is a great way to inspire thinking about topics that they may not normally be in the habit of considering. Providing various ways in which they can respond (the question sheet) to numerous prompts is a great way to find something that most students can successfully complete. I love the use of print media materials from outside our regional area as a means of giving students a broader look at the world in which they will be living.

Thanks so much for the feedback, Brett. I can see the irony of presenting a lesson that goes outside our region during the week we have RURAL VOICES as our assigned reading. As I say to my students, "Ya gotta love irony, as long as the joke is not on you." I'm not sure if the joke here is on me or not. If it is, it must be the gentle kind of irony that doesn't sting.
