Contributing to your community to encourage a positive atmosphere for living, economic growth and just all around happiness is an important job of every community member. In my humble opinion, technology makes the possibility of contributing to community growth and advancement easier. One of the ways that one of our Upper Peninsula television stations tries to reach out the community is through accepting participation in news stories, opinions and a series they call the 'Upper Peninsula Quiz Questions'. It is a fun way to try to 'stump' the weatherman on TV6.
For this week's journal entry, I would like you to do some research and think of a topic of which you are interested in. I have included some websites below to help you. Try to come up with a UNIQUE Upper Peninsula Quiz question that you can send to the news. We are going to ACTUALLY SEND these questions so be sure they are well written, well thought out and well researched. Try to think of a question that you think wouldn't have already been asked (not super obvious like population of the UP unless you are going to talk about some sort of statistical growth) and make sure you find a REPUTABLE source for your answer. It can be sports related, weather related, geographically related, history related, statistics regarding the UP or Lake Superior, and if you really want to have them pick your question at a certain time, if you relate it to an upcoming event (i.e. St. Patrick's Day/UP related) they will probably pick it at THAT time of year for the news. You ALL have to send these in so give it some serious thought and research. You are going to be emailing me the question as a carbon copy (CC:) to the email address of the news (which I will provide to you on completion when we are all ready. Be sure your email includes the following:
Your Name (FULL first and last name)
Your School & the Class you are doing this for (i.e. I am a senior at Norway High School in Micro class, etc.)
Your WELL WRITTEN full question the way you want it written on the news.
FOUR MULTIPLE CHOICE ANSWERS
Write the CORRECT answer at the bottom for the news people to see
INCLUDE WHERE YOU FOUND YOUR ANSWER (website) and it must be reputable
'EXTRA' INFO - INCLUDE what they call 'EXTRA INFO'...any other statistics or comments or facts that go along with this topic that they can say AFTER he answered the question.
