In class on Monday, the Journalism class did an exercise to practice\u00a0being an on the street reporter. \u00a0Each student went up to strangers in Washington Square Park and asked what advice they would give to their high school self? It was practice to see what it is like to ask strangers questions and get quotes and commentary on a\u00a0topic. We picked a light subject\u00a0because summer is upon us, and we are all ready to do something fun. <\/span><\/p>\n
