The lecture activity today was an interview with Joni Rollen (far left), recycling program assistant for the City of Gainesville.

I conducted the interview with her about recycling, and students took notes. Their mission was both to collect information and quotes and also to determine a focus for their own recycling stories.

With 250 students in the course, I have to be aware that I need a topic that can provide 250 different story ideas and literally hundreds of potential sources. After the lecture, Ms. Rollen met with students to talk about recycling issues and potential internships.
