Please post your summaries under the discussion tab on this page.

Below is the sample we looked at in class today:

Last May, a Chicago teen who had been previously arrested for impersonating a police officer was arrested once again, this time for stealing a car. Previously, the minor tricked police officers into believing he was a transfer officer from another precinct, showing up for “work” in full uniform. It took five-and-a-half hours for authorities to realize he was an imposter, and soon after the teen was arrested. After serving a short prison sentence, the teen was ordered homebound. However, it appears he was back at it again, this time impersonating a businessman interested in purchasing a 1990 Lexus sedan. Authorities say the fifteen-year-old sped out of the parking lot of a used car dealer before crashing head-first into a light pole. He was arrested following a short chase on foot.

Please post your summaries by clicking on the "discussions" tab above and posting there. Title the post like this: lastname - current event.

Next, read one of the summaries that haven't yet been replied to, and complete another "Working the Angles" template (the one you currently have right now is double-sided, so just use the back).

Finally, reply to the posted summary with one rhetorical question, new "trend", or play on words that you generated using the template. We'll go over these in class.

Obviously, whoever posts first has first dibs on which summary to choose. Those who delay have less from which to choose.

Thanks!
