News Assignment

For HW this weekend:
1. Find a news report (a fact-based, rather than opinion-based) article, either from the newspaper or an internet news source.
2. Complete notes  by following your "hotdog" model that we completed together in class. Be sure you:
           a. Jot down the S.A.T.
           b. Include the 5W's and 1 H
           c. Delete unimportant or repetitive info by crossing it out
           d. Select a couple of good quotes and put them in your own
                words

3Type a 10 Percent Summary of your article-this means you must know the word count of the article, and your summary will be 10 percent of its length. (i.e 500 words= around a 50 word summary)

4. Clip your article to your summary.  

Yeah!
