Well-written editorials and columns are more than mere opinion; they must persuade with information as well as with passionate writing. "This site — a project compiled by high school journalism teachers as part of ThinkQuest, an online educational project — has plenty of information that makes it useful for college journalists too. The Research Center helps you find background — on several Web search engines or via news sources such as AP, The New York Times and The Washington Post — to buttress your arguments. The Writing Center stresses how to use logical thinking to strengthen opinion writing." Kansas Gifted Assoc. Presentation Included in presentation on "Eight Ways of Being Smart in Cyberspace."
