Since I began teaching the course, the scope of expository texts has exploded. Truly, there is expository writing on almost any topic, subject, hobby, interest and disposition. That is why I seem so tentative so far--there is so much good writing to explore and share! As stated in our Academic Procedures, each week you will find YOUR OWN individual Expository Text of the Week. You may choose from Magazine Articles and Op-Eds or Commentaries; Podcasts or Editorials, or an occasional movie/film (provided that you viewed it recently). To help guide you, here are some resources, likes and places you might want to check out as you begin your journey.
18 New York Times Articles to Read Before EighteenRadio Rookies: Youth Radio from New York
Latino USA: Radio Journal of News and Culture from A Latino Perspective
Very Smart Brothas
The Huffington Post: communities Black Voices; Queer Voices; Women's Voices; Latino Voices

I enjoy and love listening to podcasts and encourage you to explore podcasts and argumentative writing for your first Independent Reading SOAPS Analysis due Tuesday night at 10pm. You may choose to read or listen to the same podcast at times.
