By next week, we will have solidified our magazine name, and write an editorial about what our magazine is about in paragraph form. Leave your responses and ideas as comments to this post and we will vote on them next class period. Go!
I thought the name TIMELESS. Though like the idea of THE ANACHRONIST. Included definition (I needed it)
An anachronism — from the Greek ανά (ana: against, anti-) and χρόνος (chronos: time)—is an error in chronology, especially a chronological misplacing of persons, events, objects, or customs in regard to each other. The item is often an object, but may be a verbal expression, a technology, a philosophical idea, a musical style, a material, a custom, or anything else so closely associated with a particular period in time that it would be incorrect to place it outside its proper domain.
I proposed we call our magazine "The Anachronist". Aside from being a cute play on "The Economist" (a well-known publication), I believe it sums up our theme of bridging past and present; that is, we're working anachronistically.
