Advanced Journalism (Tuesday, March 14 - 2nd period)

Rita smiled a little tiredly, but triumphantly.


1. What are the four basic things you must keep in mind when preparing for an interview?

2. In your opinion, is it more or less difficult to conduct an unbiased interview with someone you know versus someone you do not?

3. Define investigative journalism in your own words.

4. What is a bias? What can we, as people who work in the media, do to counter bias in our own work?

5. Where is Professor Skeeter from?

6. What does she do to students who misbehave in her class?

Which animals has John Crichton been turned into?

How many people were on the radio last night (broadcasting)?

"You just did."

John waves her off. "When you hatched your children, did it hurt?"

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

Rita just stared.

"Gives the name child bearing hips a whole new meaning," John remarks. He twirls his handcuffs on a finger. "Do you have egg hatching hips?"

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"No," Rita replied.

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Wow. Then hatching the Skeeter children must've really hurt," John says. "Oh, I brought you a present."

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"Oh no," Rita said, eyes going wide. "What?"

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John grins and tosses the handcuffs at her.

"For some spice," he merely says, trying hard not to laugh.

Rita held up the cuffs between her thumb and forefinger, nose wrinkled.

With a sigh, a muttered spell and a flick of her wand, she turned John into Satan's Chihuahua an aye-aye (http://www.jwz.org/images/capt.lon11904142236.britain_aye_aye_lon119.jpg).

John is the ugliest thing ever known to man. He's ugly.

He decides to try and end it all but diving off his desk...

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

Rory reached out to catch him.

And then shrieked and dropped him on the floor, because OMG SO CREEPY-LOOKING.

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John hits the floor with a thump and damn, that hurts. Fricking Skeeter, dammit. Just because he wanted to spice her life up with some bananas and handcuffs. Witch.

He scurries behind a bookshelf and hates life.

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

Rory tiptoed over. "What the frell is that thing?" she asked Rita, who was ignoring the whole situation.

Rory sighed and dropped a gummi bear by the bookshelf to lure the Creepiest Thing Ever out.

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

Aye aye!John, having gotten some OOC knowledge kind of urge, starts to chew on Rita's bookshelf, looking for grubs.

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory dropped another gummi bear, and made those little kissy noises that people use to draw cats out.

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

Since John isn't a cat, he just keeps chewing on Rita's bookshelf. Maybe he can make a hole and get her attention...

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory poked a hand behind the shelf, hoping John would let her pet him rather than go omgbitey on her fingers.

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John stops chewing for a moment and sticks his head out from behind the bookshelf.

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory winced.

"Want to go scare Professor Skeeter?" she whispered.

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

It's like Rory's a mind reader because John had been plotting that exact same thing.

So he comes out from behind the bookshelf and tries to look as cute as he can.

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory was still wincing because wow, that is not an attractive animal.

But she carefully picked him up and gently set him down on Rita's desk.

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John lunges because he's an animal and that's what he does. He starts to chew on Rita's shirt.

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

Rita screamed and flailed, trying to get the creepy icky thing off her.

Re: Conversation/Antagonizing Rita/Etc.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John's got really ugly and long hands so he has a kung fu grip on Rita's shirt and keeps trying to chew a hole in her shirt.

Consequences!

Rita pulled on his creeptastic little tail and tried to pry him off her. Because ew.
