We discussed this during our brief "Skype" session on Wednesday:
Please write a 250-word story about the Amber Alert mentioned in the news release under the headline "Online Writing."
Use the inverted pyramid writing style: The most important information goes first, followed by information of lesser and lesser importance.
For example, you would not begin a news story the same way the state police began the news release: "Today, at approximately 4:46PM, the Vermont State
Police received information regarding a missing juvenile Zachary Lee, age 12 of
Sunderland, VT"
That is not the most important information. In your opinion, what is?
Please include at least one link in the story.
Post it on your blogs along with a disclaimer saying something like "This is not a real news story," just in case someone stumbles upon it through Google.
Otherwise on Monday, I want to talk about podcasts and your podcast critiques. Plan on a quiz about the reading assignment: Chapter 7.
