Current Events Discussion

Journal Remember, you need to aim for ½ to ¾ of a page. Choose 1 prompt. 1. On September 2, 1789, the U.S. Treasury Department was established. If you could design a new $1 bill, explain what famous American you would have on the front. 2. September 5th is “National Cheese Pizza Day.” What is your favorite type of pizza? Explain to someone how they would make your favorite type of pizza.

Turn in homework Turn in your “feature” story about a classmate’s trip to a landmark.

Just for fun... Watch these interviews w w &list=PL143E0007B90795C5&index=4 &list=PL143E0007B90795C5&index=4 &list=PL143E0007B90795C5&index=11 &list=PL143E0007B90795C5&index=11 Discuss what went wrong…?

Writing Effective Leads

Lead writing practice You want to remember the inverted pyramid structure...including the most important information at the beginning of the story. Think about different ways you can start your lead.

Fact or not? How do we determine fact from opinion? Fact vs. opinion game. This could be one way to start a lead.

Anecdotes, Quotes, Question, and Opinions These are also ways to start a lead... ◦ Anecdote- A brief story- set up the rest of your story, provide background info, etc.  From Dan Smith’s sun-warmed beach chair in Thailand, the Indian Ocean began to look, oddly, not so much like waves but bread dough. ◦ Quote- start with something your reader will remember ◦ Question- ask your reader something you want them to ponder as they read or find the answer through your story  What’s increasing faster than the price of gasoline? Apparently, the cost of court lobbyists. ◦ Opinion- start with an opinion you set off to prove correct

Fairy Tale Lead Example AN ACCPTABLE NEWS OR SUMMARY LEAD:EXAMPLE: (Based upon Jack and Jill nursery rhyme) LARAMIE, WYO. (AP) Jack was reported in good condition Monday at Ivinson Memorial Hospital after suffering a head injury while getting a pail of water.

Your Turn You will draw 2 slips of paper. ◦ 1 with the title of a well known fairy tale ◦ 1 with a type of lead Write a lead (just the 1 st paragraph) for your story. Have fun! Trade fairy tales with a partner and then trade types of leads with another partner and write another lead. Share with the class.
