We began class by reading an excerpt from photojournalist Brian Shih's book The Black Panthers: Portraits from an Unfinished Revolution. Mr. Shih will be visiting Grant High School on 11 October, and students in Grant Magazine and the Intro to Grant Mag class have the opportunity of attending a lecture during which Shih will discuss the book.
Students then reviewed the first drafts of their profiles, getting feedback from mentors. Many students needed to review the Ten Steps to a Great Story that were introduced at the beginning of the unit: skipping steps results in incomplete work. A second draft of the story is due on 17 October.
