Extra Credit -- Attend this Friday's Career Speaker Series

So Ms. Bonet tells me that this Friday's Career Series speaker is Edmond Sackett, a McCallum parent who is also a photojournalist and multimedia professional with over 30 years experience in the field.

His list of journalistic credentials includes contributing work that led to four Pulitzer Prize nominations. Here are a few of the images that I found on his website:

with an electrocution victim from a high rise construction site
in Austin, TX. Photo by Edmond Sackett.

Laci Spencer tries to duck the affections
of her two-year-old brahma cow Baby
as they wait their turn in the show ring.

during the annual doubles competition of pickleball
for the Senior Games in Kissimmee Florida.

To encourage you to attend Friday's session, I will offer all photojournalism and journalism students a triple-counted 100 minor grade just for attending the session, being a good listener, and filling out the Career Speakers from that Ms. Bonet will make available at the presentation.

I will further offer a second triple-counted 100 if you do the following to prepare for Friday's presentation.

Visit the website that contains an archive of Mr. Sackett's work:

http://dawsonmultimediapro.com/dawsonmultimediapro.com/Media.html

(1) Post the 10 best pictures that are on the site (in your opinion) and explain why each image is a great example of photojournalism (either in terms of photography or journalism or both).

(2) Post the link to one of the videos that you find most effective and explain why you thought it was an effective video (either the message or the way it conveys the message or both).

The post has to be made before lunchtime on Friday for it to count for the offered extra credit.
