PSST! Here is a hint…..
• When writing the newspaper article, it should be written in paragraph form.
• Like all news pieces, answer the who, what when, where, why and how of the event. Also, draw the reader into the article immediately.
• The who?, what?, when?, where?, why? and how? are the concrete details of the piece. Return to the short story for facts and quotes to answer these questions.
