Image via WikipediaI'm supposed to be looking at possible thesis statements for my two profiles of Janine in this entry (the assignment was to write 2 profiles of the same person, but for different audiences). I've figured out what to do for the one directed at the state department of education: I'm focusing on how community colleges need to offer courses for students like Janine, who are interested in careers that deal with environmental problems and issues. It's perfect for her, and I can work in stuff about her volunteering to inventory trees.The other audience is potential community college students, who are probably trying to get a feel for the school and the students before they commit to going here. So, I'm going with "You'd never know that Janine is headed for a career in environmentalism by looking at her." Yeah, it seems kind of a cliché, but it's really helped me organize the essay (and it came to me from reading that profile of Johnny Depp). I got some good feedback during the peer review (plus a couple of comments I didn't understand at all).
