Two Crimes
Hello,
We're going to talk crime for the next few weeks.
To start, here are four newspaper articles. They are all pretty short. They involve two youth crimes involving a bunch of teenagers. They both have love triangles and grisly murders at the end. Hopefully, that's got you interested.
The first two involve a kid named John Jasmer. The last two involve a kid named Lashonda Flynn.
For each case, learn the facts and summarize the most important ones on a blank piece of paper. Then, create a Venn Diagram where you compare and contrast the two cases. Look especially hard for the big differences between the two cases.
By the way, who's the author?
See you soon.
Mr. Ko
John Jasmer 1
John Jasmer 2
Lashonda Flynn 1

Ansel Adams
Ansel Adams was a famous outdoor/nature photographer. We're going to see some of his work today.
For your entry task, please check out this website and click through some of his pictures:
http://www.anseladams.com/
After you're done, let's talk about:
1. What did you notice?
2. What made his pictures stand out/appear distinctive?
3. Why do you think this guy is famous? (He is, by the way, famous).
We're going to examine the idea of "making a photograph" vs "taking a photograph" and see what we can learn from Mr. Adams.
