On Wednesday, you will have 50 minutes to write on ONE of these two questions.

1. Write a detailed news report on the entire trip/fate of the Satori.

2. Write a detailed news report on the trip/fate of the Air National Guard rescue expedition.

Special Instructions:

1. Outline. You may prepare a short outline of NOT MORE THAN 40 words TOTAL with absolutely NO complete sentences to help you prepare for this.

ANY COMPLETE SENTENCE ON AN OUTLINE WILL RESULT IN COMPLETE FAILURE.

The outline must be typed and you must check it in WORD and provide a word count. Your name must be on it (your name does not count as two words).

2. Books. You may use the book, BUT ANY FORM OF PLAGIARISM WILL RESULT IN COMPLETE FAILURE.
