Each student will pick a columnist, write a column-profile about the writer and their work, and then make a 5-10 minute class presentation on the writer.
This year, the students will be also be seeing if the columnists will consider doing a telephone conference - or even a skype phone call - during the class period.
Some
of columnists under consideration are Stephen King (yes that Stephen King, photo at the left) as well as some other usual suspects: Maureen Dowd (far left), Paul Krugman and Thom Friedman.
