For anyone who couldn’t make or stay for the whole Literary Arts Festival, here is a recording of it. The first part consists of stellar student readings and the second half is the amazing Staceyann Chin performing her brilliant material. Lots of food for thought as you work on your final writing project. Â

At this time, you should be following articles in the New York Times so that you can find a topic on a current issue you are passionate about. I’ll also ask you to find articles on the library data bases (Academic Search Premier, Nexus-Uni, Opposing View Points).

Here’s an interesting article on the topic of gun control that recently appeared in the New York Times: OpEd . It’s the type of article you will want to find on your topic — once you’ve chosen it.
Here’s an interesting article on Press Freedom in Hong Kong.
Here’s a link to your next assignment: (UNIT 2)Â

TOPICS LIST (by next Tues. 4/19 post your topic — and begin finding articles).

4. Read the linked article on Huge Ma, developer of Turbo Vax. Ma created his site to help all Americans find vaccination appointments but shut it down for two days to protest incidents of anti-Asian prejudice (related to the mistaken belief that — fake news really — that China purposely created the virus — a lie perpetuated by former President Donald Trump).
5. Get New York Times App (free for City Tech Students): New York Times account
