A3: When something happens in MN (& it's happening nationally/globally) the local narrative engages us on the issue in a new way. #mnlead

amythuesen Sep 18 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: Have students write articles for local paper, get gov't representatives in to speak, have students interview public. #mnlead
