This document discusses the formatting options for an article about an indie rock artist in an indie music magazine. The author chooses to do a free-flowing article rather than a Q&A format. A free-flowing article allows the writer to portray the pretentious attitudes common in indie rock artists through a flowing narrative. It also plays to the author's strengths as a writer to make the content more interesting compared to a standard question and answer format. The author feels a free-flowing article is a better fit for both the genre and their writing abilities.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

article and Q&A.
6. Since graduating from Hogwarts, the decidedly unstarry Daniel Radcliffe has played devils, confused
poets and, now, Frankenstein’s hunchbacked sidekick. Olly Richards meets Britain’s oddest film star.
Fame teaches you many things: how to outrun paparazzi, how to respond to mobs of fans, how to endure a
breakfast TV interview without screaming. It does not, apparently, prepare you for the complexities of
making coffee. Bouncing into a huge wood-paneled conference room above the photography studio where
he’s just been shot for NME’s cover, Daniel Radcliffe is presented with a cup and reaches for the
sweeteners. “How many of these are you supposed to use?” he asks, merrily clicking little white pellets
into his drink. Each of those is one sugar, we tell him. You’ve just given yourself seven sugars. “Oh,
right,” he laughs. “Well, we’ll leave that then.”
You half-expect Daniel Radcliffe to have an entourage of people to dispense his sweeteners for him. He is
stupidly famous. Playing Harry Potter, he led one of the biggest film series in history to take over £5billion
at the world box office. He is worth, according to the Sunday Times Rich List, around £69million. He
should be swaggering around in furs, eating swans and doing drugs off antique mirrors. But Radcliffe’s the
antithesis of all that. He is not like other movie stars. We don’t mean that in the usual clichéd way, as when
a celebrity profile declares its subject “down to earth” because they ate carbohydrates and weren’t paraded
in on a throne. Daniel Radcliffe is odd. Good odd. He is Britain’s weirdest film star and we love him for it.
Consider the evidence: Since Potter ended, his roles have included a haunted lawyer (The Woman In
Black), a man turning into a devil (Horns), a singing corporate climber (How To Succeed In Business
Without Really Trying, on stage), a sexually confused beat poet (Kill Your Darlings) and a doctor who has
imaginary conversations with his older self (The Young Doctor’s Notebook). Then there’s his latest role in
Victor Frankenstein, his first studio movie since Potter. He plays Igor, the otherworldly, hunchbacked
assistant in an imagined origin story that details the peculiar early experiments of young Frankenstein
(played by James McAvoy). These are the career choices of a burgeoning indie actor, not a man so famous
he has his own Lego range and has been parodied on The Simpsons.
“No, I don’t really have mainstream tastes,” he says. “People do ask me, ‘Why do you choose such weird
movies?’ but I don’t think they’re weird, they’re just stories I’m interested in. Isn’t having weird tastes
good, though? I think so. I think that’s better than always wanting to play the handsome hero. You think
I’m weird? I’ll take that.”
Radcliffe is handsome but in quite a normal way – he has what your mum might call “a nice face” – which
means he’s not obvious leading man material, and at around 5’5”, he’s a bit small to be an action star
(though that never stopped Tom Cruise). Today, dressed all in black and with his hair sharply cropped as a
souvenir from a recently completed role in Imperium, playing an FBI agent posing as a neo-Nazi, he
should look intimidating. Yet he’s so effusively cheerful that he just looks… tidy. He’s 26 now, but clean-
shaven, he could pass for much younger. He’s got a character actor’s face, which means he can do those
strange lead roles your more traditional leading man couldn’t.
“I had a huge amount to prove [after Potter],” continues Radcliffe. “Proving that you can be a young actor
and not be a complete fucking disaster when you grow up. That is the – quite unfair I think – image that
people have of young actors. There are a huge number of child actors who grow up fine. Always with my
career in film, I saw Potter as an amazing beginning to it. I’m sure I’ll never hit that kind of commercial
peak again but very, very few people will.”
He doesn’t, however, agree that coming back to studio films is a sign he’s ready to accept being ‘a big
deal’ again. “No, although that’s a nice theory,” he smiles. “There’s no significance to it. Doing studio
movies is fun because you get to do stuff that you mostly wouldn’t get to do on an indie movie, in terms of
action. There is a part of me that, because I grew up doing it, loves that stuff and really misses it.
Frankenstein was just the most interesting and original script I’d seen from a studio. It looked like fun to
make, and it was.”
It is, as rollicking blockbusters go, smarter than most, playing with ideas of science vs religion, heart vs
mind, while also finding room for a fight with a zombie monkey. “It doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it
has a nice intellectual debate at the heart of it,” says Radcliffe.
For someone who has lived with press intrusion since the age of 11, Radcliffe is an open interviewee.
What was he into as a kid? “The Simpsons… but I was also obsessed with Yes, Minister.” The 1980s
sitcom that was made before you were born? “Yes!” He puts his hands on the arms of his chair, as he does
whenever he’s about to launch into a subject that really excites him. “I used to watch that every night
before I went to bed when I was about 15. I still think it’s one of the best British sitcoms ever… And one
of my favourite films is A Matter Of Life And Death, with David Niven… He has to go to court in Heaven.
It’s sweet and funny but so weird.” These are the kind of references you’d expect from someone twice
Radcliffe’s age . “I like things that do whatever the fuck they want at all times.”. He shrugs
Radcliffe’s frankness extends to discussing more personal matters, which in the past have included losing
his virginity to an older woman and problems with alcohol, long since given up. Most recently, in an
interview with Playboy, there was the surprising admission of masturbating during the production of Harry
Potter…
“What?” he says, confused, but not angry. “I didn’t say I wanked on set!”
He gets out his phone to find the interview, which doesn’t take long as there are many, many Google hits.
“Oh God,” he says, flopping back in his seat. “It’s frustrating when you tell a story and say, ‘Yes, I wanked
a lot when I was a teenager,’ but clearly I didn’t mean on set.” He straightens up in his seat. “Can you
make this clear for me: I was not wanking during the filming of Potter – I managed to restrain myself until
I got home.” Consider the matter closed. Let’s wash our hands of it, so to speak.
Radcliffe wears his fame lightly, remembering a key incident from the height of Pottermania. “I was at
Reading Festival and I was standing behind a guy who’d been on reality TV. He was really, really hated
and I saw the shit he took from that crowd. Stuff chucked at him, people swearing at him… I was 16 and
was all, ‘Oh man I can’t go anywhere.’ Then I had that moment of realisation that, holy sh*t, I am really
lucky to be famous for something that people really like. There are far worse things to be famous for, and
this is something that still seems to be genuinely important to so many people in a really sweet way.”
If Radcliffe is fed up with discussing Potter, and he has every reason to be, he doesn’t show it. In fact, he
brings up the subject, talking about how strange it is that it’s only four years since the film series ended,
because it feels so long ago. He can’t escape it, but he doesn’t want to. Which is good because the Potter
universe has started expanding again.
We meet on the day that the first images were revealed of Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, the
1920s-set Potter spin-off that stars Eddie Redmayne as a magical explorer who collects bizarre creatures.
Radcliffe hasn’t seen the pictures and jumps up to look at them on my phone, clocking Redmayne’s swishy
cerulean coat and barking, “Oh fuck you, Eddie, in your brilliant costume… I got jeans and a zip top for 10
years and you’ve got a greatcoat already?”
JK Rowling is not just expanding into the Potter universe’s past, but also its future. Next year will see the
West End opening of the play Harry Potter And The Cursed Child, not a sequel to Potter but a
continuation of Harry’s story, focusing on his youngest son, Albus, who is struggling with all that comes
with the Potter name. Harry is now unhappily employed at the Ministry of Magic (basically a wizard civil
servant).

What’s it like knowing someone else is going to play Harry? “It’s weird,” he says. “But I’m happy for it to
go on without me. I’ve no ownership of it.” Would he go and see it? “Now that I know [Harry’s in it] I
actually really want to see it. It would be
a mental thing to try and see it with lots of very excited Harry Potter fans. But I kind of would like to know
what happens now.”
He goes all wistful for a minute. “I’d always thought in the years after Potter finished that it would die
down, but it’s just grown more because the people who were massive Harry Potter fans in their teens are
now adults. So you meet them more. They’re not at home with their parents, they’re out in the world. It
always amazes me when someone says what a huge part of their childhood it was. I still have a natural
reserve that makes me go, ‘Oh don’t be so silly, I wasn’t responsible for your childhood.’ But I think about
the stuff that means a lot for me from my childhood, like The Simpsons, and how, when I did a voice on
7. The Simpsons I got a signed thing from Matt Groening and that was so fucking exciting. The thought that I
might occupy that space in somebody else’s childhood…”
Maybe it’s not the roles he’s taken since Potter that make him unusual. Maybe it’s not even his bizarre
affinity for granddad TV shows. Maybe the thing that makes Daniel Radcliffe Britain’s oddest film star is
that he hasn’t ever quite realised that he’s a film star at all. It doesn’t seem to have sunk in that he’s Daniel
bloody Radcliffe.

I found the quotes from Radcliffe the most interesting, as they explained some experiences which he
had faced and how his fame affected them. Smart wording from the author is also interesting, as it
portrays Radcliffe as a normal, “down to earth” guy who has not turned into a fame demon. The
slight sarcasm and irony has a dry humorous element to it, which personally interests me.
Red- quotes
blue- radcliffes actions
green- writers opinions
the conclusion once again reveals the strong writing style of the author, it is a good summary and
further portrays Radcliffe as this “down to earth” character, as it is made out that he is yet to
acknowledge his fame; those that do, act stupidly, the writer subconsciously says.

One Direction Q&A: Harry Styles
Harry Styles has the devil may care hair, a dimple that's melted a million hearts, and now that
girlfriend, Taylor Swift. The 18-year-old Englishman is also a member of One Direction, the
saviors of boy band virtue and Billboard's Top New Artist of 2012 . We caught up with
Styles, briefly, on the phone recently.
Congrats (congratulations) on being named Billboard's Top New Artist of 2012. How
does it feel?
It's (it has) been an amazing year for us. We've (we have) been having such a great time since
when we first came to the U.S. (united states) It's (it has) been absolutely crazy (exhilarating)
and amazing.
At this time last year, what was your outlook on 2012 and possibly cracking (succeeding
in) America?
We looked at this album as a very big deal. It's (it is) a good feeling obviously to work with
everyone and put everything out with the team that's (that has) worked so hard to get us this
far. It's (it has) been absolutely incredible.
I'm (I am) told you're (you are) the music guy in the groups who's (who is) always
turning others on to new bands. What's (what is) your personal taste like?
I actually get a lot of music from my sister, who's (who is) into all these bands. She's (she
has) been listening to and downloading stuff that I get from her. A lot of times suggested stuff
(songs) comes on iTunes I'll have a look at it, or the fans will send me things. But I've (I
have) been listening to The Lumineers. I love their album and also Elvis Perkins, he's (he is)
great.
You guys (the group) accomplished a lot in 2012, but what's (what is) your personal
highlight?
For me the Olympics literally can't (cannot) be topped. Just the feeling of being in that room,
all our families were there. The whole feeling was just unbelievable.
What about performing at the VMAs, where you also won three awards?
There was something about being in the room and the whole kind of atmosphere that really
surprised me. To be on that stage and perform was unbelievable. I think it kind of felt like
people learned a bit more about the One Direction thing (not needed). It felt like we were
making music where people of all kinds could appreciate.
You've (you have) got a concert film up next. What can we expect?
We're (we are) excited. I think we've (we have) had cameras on us for a long time, we've (we
have) just been filming a lot of stuff (not needed). It's just gonna (going to) be exciting to
watch it back. Just to have the ability to be able to kind of (not needed) look back at that
while we're (we are) older and to have your children see it will be amazing.
(Informal language is highlighted in red)
10. What article am I going to produce and why?
For my indie rock music magazine, I will be producing a free flowing article. I
feel that this type of article is more appropriate for the genre, as through free
flowing text I will be able to portray the often pretentious attitudes of indie
rock artists rather than if interviewed in the Q&A format.
I also feel like my writing abilities would suit the structure of a free flowing
article and I would thus be able to make the content of the article more
interesting for the audience’s enjoyment.
With regards to my initial research, I gathered from my questionnaire
feedback that my audience has a preference for free flowing articles rather
than Q&A interviews. I have taken this feedback into account and therefore I
will fulfil the interests of my audience.
