TEEN SPEAK
2011 – 2012
TEEN SPEAK, a monthly feature in The Brownsville Herald, provides a forum for students to express their ideas on a variety of subjects. Essays are limited to 100 words and must be printed legibly or typed. Young artists may submit artwork, jokes and riddles illustrating the essay topic, but it’s not a requirement for my English class. TEEN SPEAK is published the first Wednesday of every month.
