Like I said to Ashtyn about her Birmingham homicide story, I have been thinking nonstop about "The Seven Wonders of BSC." I hope you'll do that next and I will add to my hope A DOUBLE-DOG DARE that you do it as an eight-panel cartoon. You could also do it in some kind of guidebook format.

A profile of Dana Bekurs sounds promising too. I have no idea what all goes into planning orientations, but I assume it's a whole hell of a lot, most of which participants never imagine.

Either of those would be great for your April 21 story, but don't forget you have another option: The Letter-of-Recommendation-You-Would-Have-Written-If-Your-Beastly-Prof-Had-Not-Insisted-on-the-Journal prompt.

I think I am most interested in writing "The Seven Wonders of BSC" OR a letter of recommendation assignment.

For the seven wonders project, I would likely interview a couple of my orientees because I originally presented this list to them during orientation. I would love to ask them about how many they have found or explored during their freshman year. I would love to discuss the variations of formats that you suggested for this one in class on Thursday!
