CYOA- Alaina and Julia


Here is our CYOA article, a profile on Jacob Zuma.

As you read this piece, consider these points:

-Does the structure work?  For example, what do you think of the lede?  How does the writer balance description with fact?  Is it easy to navigate and does it flow?

-Pay attention to the sources the writer uses in this article.  Is it well researched?  Who else should the writer have interviewed?

-How is the information presented?  What does it highlight about Zuma?  Does it give us more insight/understanding about him as a person?  As a ruler?  What does it reveal about South Africa and it's people as a whole?

-Does the author's language/stance affect how we, as readers, view Zuma and, by association, South Africa?

We look forward to your thoughts and to the discussion on Wednesday!
