In this one-hour workshop, we will introduce students to the Pulitzer Center's mission, the term "under-reported story," and a series of skills that they can use to find and evaluate under-reported stories that interest them. Students will explore several Center stories as a group, and individually, and then we will model how they can analyze these stories to prepare letters that they can submit to our annual "Local Letters for Global Change" writing contest. We will then transition into the following resource that models ways for students to identify under-reported stories in their own communities. (The resource also introduces Pulitzer Centers Executive Editor Marina Walker Guevara, who will be our guest speaker next week)
