What I would like to know more about? (W)

Demonstrating What I Learned (L); Thinking like an Historian
1. Choose 1 story from each day of the week and follow it further (read about it in the 1988 newspapers provided)... why is the story important? what happened in the end? Does this story still relate to us today? Is this still an ongoing story? (logical intelligence)
2. Examine the TV schedule, find one of the episodes on any number of streaming sites. Use the Library of Congress reflection guide to Observe, reflect, and question the information/culture being presented to you. How does this episode tie into the larger themes of the week (IE, Miami Vice and its reliance on drug trafficking themes) (visual intelligence)
3. Diagram the relevance of this week's events/culture to one of our guest interviews, how does hearing from a 1988 voice enhance the information presented? (intrapersonal intelligence)
4. Create and craft a mock news broadcast following several of this week's stories, or design a week summary skit (both will need to be performed) (bodily intelligence)
5. Listen to the music of this week and assess its relevance and importance to the issues and events or craft a song about the events of the week (musical intelligence)
6. Write a mock journal entry from someone of your age in 1988, telling their journal about his/her week in 1988, OR write a series of poems about the week, OR write a report about how this week shaped 1988, OR read one of the top selling books and report about what you read (linguistic intelligence)
