Writing on Demand Week 3
Prompt One: The article “CPS Schools, Public Libraries Will Learn To Share Facilities Under New Library-Within-A-School Model” describes how the city of Chicago is saving money by combining their public schools with their public libraries. Also, the public park system will take over the grounds (yards) surrounding the schools, as well. This will save a lot of money.
It’s no secret that there is less and less money available for schools and districts are doing whatever they can to cut costs. Some schools are open four days a week for ten hour days to save money on electricity and busing. Other schools have cut athletics and art programs.
What could Lakeview or the Park Hill School District do to save money? Write an essay where you explain in your first paragraph something about the school that costs too much money. In the second paragraph explain how your idea could save money for the district. Then, in the third paragraph discuss how much money it could actually save. If you do any research, cite your source(s).
Accommodations: If you have prior permission from Ms. Panther, she may expect one paragraph that has a clear introduction, solution with support for why it would work, and a conclusion. See the black crate on the red table for more information.

Prompt Two: Last week you worked to identify photography and give each photograph we found a story. We also worked on increasing your photography vocabulary to give you the ability to communicate effectively about visual publications. This week we’ll continue to analyze and discuss photography as an art form.
Above are a few photographs that were a part of a photography art show. Jill Hendenburg called the show “End Times” and it featured dozens of young children crying. This was considered to be an unethical show because many people feared she had mistreated the children in order to make them cry (i.e. taking away their toys, waking them up from naps). Just a note, the children all had their parents with them during the photo shoot and the parents all gave permission for this to happen.
Imagine you are suddenly the president of photography in America. Create a list of photography rules that all photographers must follow in order to show their work. Explain each rule as you go.
For example: (1) All photographers must have the permission of the person they are photographing. This will prevent people from being spied on or their images being used without their permission. Celebrities and politicians are not excluded.
There are no length expectations, simply that thought and care be put into each rule. I'd be surprised if there were less than four rules or more than ten (too many and they may not be explained very well!).
