Journalistic Integrity (Friday, March 17 - 3rd period)

Rita was clad from head to toe in bright green, a sweet smile playing on her lips.

"Good morning. Today, I'd just like you to turn in your midterm work, and tell us all what you researched."

She smiled expectantly, and pointed at a bowl of golden coins on the desk.

She smiled. "And these coins are yours, if you'd like. Yes, they're gold. Leprechaun gold. Happy St. Patrick's Day."

[Take the gold! It'll disappear in a few hours. And, actual work on the midterm - handwavey is good. But make up something to tell the class, pwease?]

"I researched a reporter named Steve Pyrex (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0323944/), who was fired from his position at a major newspaper for making stories up."

"I thought that researching the Daily Prophet would be interesting," said Janet. "Since it was so well-respected and our teacher is so familiar with the subject material."

Callisto turned in a couple of hundred words on the unfortunate Steve Pyrex. Her essay did not contain any veiled references to any journalism teachers. At all. Because that would be wrong.

Janet turned in two hundred words precisely on the Daily Prophet. She discussed their fact-checking department in unfortunate and highly critical detail.

Alanna turned in a report that may have been written while she was drunk.
