Asignment

On a total of one side of one sheet of paper, using 10 pt type or larger, with standard interline spacing and margins, respond to all the following.

You are to write an MIT press release for Rao's work.

Your press release should have the elements suggested in the sample, including the usual journalistic requirement for who, what, where, when, and how, all of which are illustrated in the first paragraph.

Include in your press release, and label for our easy identification, the following:

• Your choices for the vision, contribution, and what was actually done.
• Your sense of the potential impact of the work.
• Your sense of whether the paper is about learning or phonology.

Note: This assignment seems to invite humor, and if you feel like writing something funny, do so. But also be sure to take the paper seriously, and interdigitate a serious assessment with your jokes.
