1. Lives Lost - How does Dotson use his stand up in the story? What techniques did he use to get soundbites from the children?
He uses a stand up to transition into the gym area (basketball court). This is information that you can't visual or see directly. He used the Non-Question/Question and the Rule of Threes.

2. Cave Rescue - What is your favorite line of writing from Dotson in this story?
The close

3. Ruby Bridges - How does Dotson use the five tools of a novelist?
The conflict was Ruby Bridges against the racism of America. She was chosen to go to an all white school by herself when she was a little girl. Character growth would be showing Ruby Bridges how strong she is now and how she teaches other kids that the color of your skin shouldn't matter.

The man created the memorial.

Lives Lost

Tiger Woods Review

Fan: I think it was good of Tiger Woods to finally come out and speak. I accept his apology. I understand that he needs this time to repair his family but I don't think he needs over a year. He's an amazing golf player and he should keep his golf life and his family life separate.
Reporter: I accept Tiger's apology. He seems very convincing and sounds like he truly does want to get help. He did make mistakes but people can change. He seems very aware of that.
