1: Read/watch this week's assigned materials.

2: Write and submit on Brightspace ONE of the following: 1) pretending you are Simeon Booker, write a one-paragraph pitch for "To Be a 'Negro' Newsman Reporting on the Emmett Till Murder Trial"; 2) pretending that you are Lynell Hancock, write a one-paragraph pitch about the news media's role in wrongly convicting Korey Wise, Antron McCray, Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson, and Yusef Salaam in the Central Park jogger case (note: don't just write about the case; write about the news media's role in it); 3) pretending you are a Pro Publica reporter, write a one-paragraph pitch for “In a Notoriously Polluted Area...”

3: On the Pro Publica map, pick any community that shows the highest level of air pollutants. Find that community on Google Earth, then do the following:

• Locate the largest industrial plant in the community.
• Using the measure tool, calculate how many square acres the plant covers.
• Now calculate how far the nearest home is from that plant.
• Now calculate how far the nearest school is from that plant.
• Submit a screenshot of each measurement on Brightspace. (You do not have to write anything for this exercise; just submit screenshots of your findings.)
• See the video below for step-by-step instructions on how to use Google Earth.
