Respond to Curtis Wilkie's article, "Words Triumph Over Images." You may agree or disagree with any of the author's points as long as you take a firm stand. Support your opinion by comparing and contrasting sources about Hurricane Katrina. You must find at least one of these sources through outside research. The other source may be a reading from the lesson or another outside source. The two sources must represent two contrasting media: text versus images, video versus radio, and so on.
Focus on the following points of comparison:
• How the medium used in each source affects the way the information is conveyed
• How differences in each author's words and phrases, including figurative language and connotations, affect the source's tone and meaning
• How each author builds his or her points or central ideas by arranging sentences, paragraphs, and sections in a certain way
Finally, write your argument in a formal, objective way that follows the conventions of whatever application you choose: essay, debate, and so on.
How you go about this project is up to you, but consider one of the following options:

Option 1: Write an editorial of your own in response to Curtis Wilkie's. Follow the formal conventions of a specific periodical, such as the Nieman Reports, and present your argument in an objective way. To support your argument for or against Wilkie's editorial, compare and contrast two sources about Hurricane Katrina, focusing on the effects of media and word choice and the way sentences, paragraphs, and sections are organized.

Option 2: Write an essay that compares and contrasts the effects of media, word choice, and topic organization to support an argument either for or against the major points in Curtis Wilkie's editorial. Your essay should be formal and objective in tone and follow standard essay conventions: an introduction with a claim or thesis, body paragraphs that present evidence, and a conclusion that wraps up the argument.

Option 3: Engage in a classroom debate about the central points of Curtis Wilkie's editorial. Focus on the effects of media, word choice, and topic organization by comparing and contrasting two sources about Hurricane Katrina. Prepare two cases, one that agrees with Wilkie and one that disagrees, so that you can debate a variety of partners in your class. Follow the formal conventions of an established debate style, such as Lincoln-Douglas.

Read the excerpt from the war of the worlds, in which the crowd begins to disperse just before the first martian exits the cylinder. when i returned to the common the sun was setting. scattered groups were hurrying from the direction of woking, and one or two persons were returning. the crowd about the pit had increased, and stood out black against the lemon yellow of the sky—a couple of hundred people, perhaps. there were raised voices, and some sort of struggle appeared to be going on about the pit. strange imaginings passed through my mind. as i drew nearer i heard stent's voice: "keep back! keep back! "a boy came running towards me."it's a-movin'," he said to me as he passed; 'a-screwin' and a-screwin' out. i don't like it. i'm a-goin' 'ome, i am."what options accurately depict the impact of the boy's words on pacing within the excerpt? (select all that apply.)the war of the worldsthe setting is in england, so the boy's words provide the reader with the dialect of the area. even though that slows down the plot, the boy's words contain important information. the plot's forward movement is slow at the beginning of the excerpt because there is little action. the boy's words increase the tension and counteract that lag. the narrator is not close enough to see clearly into the pit, so the boy's words provide the narrator with the information he needs, which moves the plot forward. the boy's words serve to speed up the pacing of the plot because, as he is talking to the narrator, he is running past him to get away. the narrator is not close enough to see clearly into the pit, so the boy's words provide the narrator with the information he needs, which moves the plot forward. wrong? the boy's words serve to speed up the pacing of the plot because, as he is talking to the narrator, he is running past him to get away.
