The Muskegon Area Intermediate School District – MAISD – is giving all of you $250 for your Close Up trip this Spring. It is the most money that individual students have ever received from the MAISD. It is not actually provided to you – at the end of your bill – $250 will be subtracted and paid for by the MAISD.
So…good news guys. Also I have CANDY!
And don’t forget our $400 non-refundable payment is due in two weeks. And our airfare will come shortly thereafter.
Come and make a flyer if you haven’t already. And keep in touch with me.

Our 2014 Semester One Final Exam will encourage reflection on stories taken from the The Sidneys, The New Yorker – Top Ten ..for 2013 and links from David Brook’s column (Sidney’s – Part 1 and Sidney’s – Part 2) in the New York Times that provided me the idea. You are required to read, reflect, and write on two stories of your choosing. These are examples of some of the best journalism in the United States today.
What exactly is the Sidney Award…
“In 2009, the foundation inaugurated the Sidney, a monthly award for an outstanding piece of socially-conscious journalism. The Sidney is awarded monthly to a piece published in a magazine, newspaper, on a news site, or a blog in the United States. Television and radio segments broadcast in the United States are also eligible, as are published photography series.”
What is The New Yorker Magazine…
To put it simply the New Yorker Magazine is very good journalism. A significant number of the Sidneys are first published in the New Yorker. The magazine features award winning authors. It addresses a wealth of issues global and domestic. Each year the New Yorker offers its own “Top Ten Stories” of the year. You’ll be choosing from 2012 and 2013.
