This assignment is due at the start of class on Thursday, Feb. 5.
Find a story in a newspaper and "reversion" it for the Web on your blog.
The newspaper can be the Caledonian-Record or any other newspaper you have access to. It just needs to be the printed edition rather than the online version.
Include the following in your Web version:
Headline (six words or fewer)
Blurb (a two-sentence summary of the story)
Full story (in this case, five brief paragraphs will do)
Link (use your blog's linking tool to link to a related story or Web site)
Visit a few news sites to get a feel for Web writing. Avoid using the blurb as the first paragraph of the story -- that's a CNN.com habit I can't stand.
If you like a challenge, write the full story in one post and the blurb in another and figure out how to construct a link from the blurb to the full story.
Good luck.
