An editorial is defined as a statement of opinion by a magazine or newspaper editor or a television or radio station.
An example of an editorial is an article written by the editor of a newspaper detailing his opinion on something.
Our next short unit will be on writing an editorial. This is where you will get to express your opinion. But, as with most things in life, there are rules. To get you started, I thought it might be fun to listen to a few soap box editorials by David Mitchell. See profile below.

There is less than 16 minutes total for all 4 clips. For each of the following, watch and compose one well-written sentence that sums up Mitchell's thesis for each of the editorials.. Include textual material. Send along and label "soapbox". Thank you. Due at the close of class.
