Isthmus Happy Happy, Joy
Joy Worksheet.
Hi
kids. I’d like to introduce you to the Isthmus, Madison’s FREE and weekly
paper. It’s got all sorts of good, local news. Let’s check it
out.
Ok, Let’s look at the cover page.
The Case of the Missing Moon Rocks. Make a wild guess. What happened to the rocks?
Way
to go! Hey! You’re OK! Say it, “I’m OK.” OUT LOUD you
scaredy-cat. Say “I’m OK” nice and loud so the whole class can hear.
Now open the paper up to page 3. Pick one event that you think you would be
interested in going to. Write it down
here.
There are a couple of articles on
page 8 and 9 on Tony Robinson. Read
through them and write down a couple of pieces of information that are new to
you.
1.
2.
Next there is an article about a
dental clinic closing. There is a picture of Morgan with some nice choppers. Change her appearance to how she would look
if the clinic were to close. Show me what you did.
Okay.
Time for another question. Are you ready? If you are, go and write your name on the board. In cursive.
I’ll wait.
Okee dokee. Uber and Lyft. Match the mayoral candidate with how he
feels about the two companies.

POLITICAL CARTOON #1 on page 14.
Tom Tomorrow has some very specific opinions. What political party do you think he’s a part of? Why do you say that?
Here’s our big cover story. Were
you right about what happened to the moon rocks? Don’t lie to me. You were way
off. You don’t even know what a moon is. Oh, you do? Prove it. Draw where the moon would be and its size
if this circle would be the earth.

You’ve gotten this far. Stand
up and loudly say, “I’ve gotten this far and I’m number one.”
If someone else has already said this, say, “I’ve gotten this far and I’m
number two.” Keep going in order up to ten. Because after ten,
you’re just going too slow.
Pull out the paper’s insert. Make it into a hat. Model it for Schachter.
He’ll take your picture.
A great part of this free paper is
that it always has a decent review of the local music, arts, television and
movies section. Check out the reviews from page 24-34. There is one place
where you can drink something that is like, “kissing your high school
girlfriend for the 13th time.” Where
do you need to go to get that experience?
Go to page 42-44 you big
silly. This is a list of where and when all the music is in
Madison. Not bad, hunh? Pretty great music scene Madison has, isn’t
it? Pick one event that you’d be
interested in going to, write it down, and write down the place, time and price
also.
Won’t
that be a great show? I bet it’s going to be the party of the year!
But guess what? You can’t go. You’re too young. These are
almost all bars and you have to be 21. Ha-ha.
All right. Last thing. Go to the
crossword puzzle. Solve one clue.
Or more. Solve the whole dang thing if you want.
So you’re done. Yeah for
you. What do you want? A paperclip? Fine. Go over to Schachter and he’ll give you a
paperclip. Not a great prize? Shows what you know. There was a guy a
year ago who went on Craigslist with a paperclip. He traded it for something
else, then for something else, then for something else until finally he wound
up with a house. He was clever. He was
motivated. He was unique. And what are you? You’re wasting your time filling
out a stupid worksheet. What a waste of your life. You should be ashamed.
Extra credit. Write a letter to the editor.
More extra credit. Send the letter into the paper.
Super extra double secret credit. Get the letter published.
Another extra credit. Pick out a song for Schachter to play. But then
you have to dance to it. In front of the class.
