News Article Rough Draft

We began class today with voting for the Cariboo Reads books for this year. Thank you so much for your input! Hopefully a couple of our class favourites get chosen.... Today's class was dedicated to completing our rough draft of the newspaper article. Remember that you are allowed to write your article on any topic you wish. You could choose a real-life event, or you could create something entirely fictional. Use the handout I gave you today to write your draft, sketch a photo and create a caption. We will type up the final copy of our article on the 26th. Keep the following criteria in mind as you write your draft: - write a lead paragraph that includes the 5 Ws - remain objective throughout (no opinions) - include facts (at least three) - include quotations (at least two) If you need help structuring your news article, go to a newspaper for help! Check out the front page stories, and use those as a model for this assignment. Good luck!
