You are an aspiring journalist with a lot of talent and no job. Reader's Digest has just come out with a contest for new journalists. The winning entry will win an internship for 1 year at Reader's Digest and $10,000. You could use the internship and the money because you don't have either. Your task is to write an article about a culture that you have just visited. This can be a travel journal, biography, or an article using your culture or any piece of writing you can determine. The article must include vocabulary from that culture. You must also fill out the entry ticket ASAP with your name, culture, point of view, and genre you're going to write in because the due date is fast approaching. Reader's Digest requires that the article must have at least 5 cultural vocabulary words that are hyperlinked to additional vocabulary. At the end of the project, you will be presenting your article to the class who will judge the article and, as a class, determine the winner of the contest. Good luck!
