Well, The Articulate was a hit at the November 17th, North Texas Round Robin. All around the room, students and parents were reading and discussing the magazine and its ideas. The question on the tip of everyone's lips? "When is the next issue coming out, and how can I be involved?"
The deadline to turn any articles in for the next issue is January 7th; I hope to have the next issue out by the end of January. But how can you get involved?
Well, you can voice your ideas in a variety of ways:
1. Write an article on the topic of your choice. If you're passionate about a current event, tell us about it and why you take a certain side on the issue. Of course, due to space limitations, all articles simply can't be included, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't submit one anyways. Even if we can't use it for this issue, we'll keep in on tabs for the future issues.
2. Write a letter to the editor. If you don't have time to write a full blown article, summarize your ideas or questions in a letter (or in this case, email) to the editor and send it to thearticulate@gmail.com.
3. Comment here. Even if you can't write a letter or article, you can comment on this blog with your ideas, or events you want to see covered in the next issue. Want to see an article on immigration? Just tell us. We want to cover the issues that you care about.
Copies of the first edition of The Articulate are still available...if you want to order a copy or have questions, comment here or email us at thearticulate@gmail.com
Hope to hear from you soon!

Issue #1 - Complete!
Hey everyone,
The day has come when I can joyfully proclaim, "it is finished!" After 2 months of hard work, late nights and numerous emails, The Articulate magazine is finally complete. For those of you who haven't heard about the magazine, here's a brief overview of the project:
The idea for the magazine came from a desire I've always had to share my thoughts on important social issues--not just on the internet, but to actually have a printed magazine containing my ideas and the ideas of my peers. After blasting out emails to everyone I could think of that might be interested, I was able to build a team of dedicated students who shared the vision. Together, we collected, wrote, proofread and otherwise buried ourselves in articles covering everything from history to religion to global warming. The final product is a collage of ideas from diverse minds and perspectives; the voice of this generation.
You're probably asking yourself, "how can I get my hands on this precious material??" The magazine will cost $4 {add $1 for shipping, if necessary} in order to cover printing costs, as well as to provide for future issues. There are a few ways you can purchase your very own copy of The Articulate.
Of course, in this wonderful age of internet business, you can purchase a copy via Paypal, by sending the appropriate sum here.
I'll be carrying around issues wherever I go, beginning next week when the magazine comes back from the printer, so if you'll be seeing me in the near future, you can purchase a copy that way. For those of you involved in Texas NCFCA debate, I'll have copies available at the November 17th round robin.
Additionally, you can explore the intricacies of the US Postal Service by sending me a check via snail mail.
Whichever way you choose, I'd urge you to support to this project by contributing financially to The Articulate and it's mission.
If you have any questions, ideas or need details about purchasing options, please feel free to contact me at the magazine email address or comment for details.
Thanks for your time and support. The magazine will be available beginning Tuesday--I look forward to hearing from you!
