First, my original idea fell through because I was not able to find an expert for the article. Then, I had to brainstorm a new idea. I thought of three and then eventually decided to write an environmental news peg feature. I had found an article on the New York Times website about Earth Hour, so I thought I would write an article about what Coe students can do to live an eco-friendly lifestyle. I thought this would be a timely piece because Earth Hour is coming up as well.
I ran into the same problem here - the expert I was originally intending to talk to (the faculty advisor for the Environmental Club at Coe) did not have time in her schedule to talk to me, so I had to go in another direction. I actually ended up calling my high school principal; I went to the School of Environmental Studies which is a school that stresses how students can make individual choices that make large impacts on the earth, so I figured he could be considered an expert.
I have also talked to Coe students in the Environmental Club about their opinions on what students can do.
