Writing a media review on a day at school

Playing "make believe" is sometimes the best way to access our most creative and imaginative selves. For this assignment, I want you to play "make believe" by imagining that you are working for a very prominent newspaper and your job is to visit the school, go to classes like a regular student and write a review on a typical day at Siena Catholic Academy.

Have some fun here! Give yourself a different name. Write as if you're new to the environment. This is to help you use reason and strong detail to back up your opinions, instead of unimaginatively spewing out the typical emotions you associate with school--depression, boredom, trapped, blah blah blah. Playing "make believe" will hopefully allow you to see beyond those often unwarranted emotions (really! you don't have it that bad!) and enable you to write a thoughtful, honest, and FAIR review of a typical day at Siena.
