You and the Economy

How does this story in today's Denver Post affect you?  Do you have any interest (pun intended) in the stock market? In economics?  Do you have any comments on the current Wall Street plunge?  Do you feel you are prepared to make financial decisions when you become an adult?

Restaurant Review

At some point most of you will be writing a review of some sort, and those in Living & Arts will all be required to write a restaurant review this year.  Please read this story, and pay special attention to the one-sentence lead.  When you are done reading the article, I want you to return here and comment. 

This is what your comment should contain:

1. The name of a restaurant that you would recommend.
2.  A once-sentence lead for an article you might write about that restaurant.  Remember, one sentence only!

Inspired Features

At some point you will all be writing a feature article about someone in the TJ community.  I'd like you to read this article (A Brush With Inspiration) in the Denver Post, and comment on some people in this community who might be targets for an article like this, and feel free to comment on the article, in general.

Journal Ideas

Happy Friday!  For today's activity, please visit The Denver Post and have a look around.  When you come upon some feature that the Post offers that the Journal does not, please come back and comment on that feature and why you think it would be good to add it to the Journal.  If you can add a link to the feature you are describing, that would be helpful.  (No Manny, we cannot add comments…find something else!)

Spamp's Place is Back!

Yes, we are back in business.  This is the place where you will find all of your newspaper and video resources. 
Today I would like everyone to read the Denver Post article, Denver delivers $40 million for DNC.  Please respond in general to the article, and reflect your feelings about the DNC.
