Welcome back friends! Sorry its taken me so long to check back in. But I have a pretty good excuse! You see, since I started editing full-time at my newspaper, I havent really had time to write articles (writing was my first love). But one of our reporters was on vacation last week, so they asked me to write an article for the Sunday NBA package in our section. And since the NBA is my absolute most favorite sport on the planet, I just couldnt say no! Heres the article if any of you are curious about it. But, long story short, the time I was going to devote to TRs over the Thanksgiving weekend, ended up going toward my story.
Missyrose, thanks for sharing the link! Nice Work!
I teach 8th grade Language Arts and Social Studies and I also have a Journalism degree so t was interesting to read your article. My husband and son are into professional sports and of course many of my students are so I try to keep current on some things happening in the sports field so I talk to them about it.
I might have to use your article as an example of how to cite within a writing piece. I will be teaching research skills and how to cite sources within your writing in January and Feb. I like to use mentor texts to illustrate the skill to my students and this article would catch the interest of many of my students.
Please keep us posted of any other articles you write; I will also keep checking the Washington Post website for your work.
