What's in the News?

For the past few classes, we have been working on a news article, reporting on an incident of the student's choice.  We spent time last class looking at the features of news article openings, and we practiced locating the 5 Ws (who, what, where, when and why) in an opening.  We also considered how we could begin our articles so that we would capture our reader's attention.

We continued this practice during today's class, as well.  Students finalized their openings today, and they submitted their opening paragraph to me.
