Happy MLK Day

Use today's festivities tomorrow as a retro look at how people received their news in the 60's.  Save all the articles from the print newspapers and log on to a few good ones online.  Research a few archived articles from papers in the 60's to project on screen for the students.  Tuesday in class have the students write an compare/contrast prompt for bell work on the differences in media from 1965 and today.  Then, show them by pulling up current articles.  This should be an amazing discussion opportunity to bring in media law issues as well as reporting/writing techniques.
