Blogging assignment 2

Hello video producers,
As you all know, one of the things we will be doing in the upcoming weeks is to work with 'flip cameras' to produce a series of short videos on violence for the Cure Violence project www.cureviolence.com. This is a collaborative project between artist Lincoln Schatz, Chicago's anti-violence organization CeaseFire and Community TV Network (and many other organizations and individuals in the city).

In preparation for this assignment, you will need to write about your experience with violence: Have you witnessed or heard about any acts of violence in your neighborhood? How did you feel when you witnessed/heard about this? What can young people do to help cure violence in our communities? What's a good way to stay out of trouble? Write a paragraph or a short story about your experience with violence on our blog...
The due date is Monday, February 15th at 10pm.

Also -- just as a reminder, we are going on a fieldtrip to the University of Illinois at Chicago on Wednesday, so make sure to turn in the field trip permission slips to Ms. Rak no later than Tuesday. Have a wonderful long weekend!
