Step 3 - Find the Connections

Overcome the dangers of compassion fatigue by finding the connection between your own life experience and the loss (disaster). This is a MEmorial - find the "me".

Write your own version of a moment of connection with your news event - you may find this in a childhood memory. (Ulmer, p143-4)

Is there a unifying thread through the news stories or websites? Can you treat your news story as an image or a scene?  (Ulmer, p93-4, synopsis)

What about the story is troubling? What is the larger implication of the story?  Reflect on your news story and what it means for you. (Ulmer, p118-119)
