Reporting on the Scene

Now that we've completed the story, decide what part of the story you want to report out, LIVE, ON THE SCENE!

You are going to write a newscast script that includes a reporter who delivers the who, what, where when, why, and how and poses BURNING questions to characters who respond appropriately, based on their characterization.

Remember, it is important for you to address the who, what, why, where, when, and how BUT also to further understand the events and their impact on characters.


Having trouble characterizing?

Think of three decisions or statements a character has made and what each one teaches you about their personality.


HW for all sections EXCEPT 8-3 (Monday's 9th period class): Brainstorm for script in journal: 

What event will you report on?

Describe your who, what, where, when, who, and how

What questions will you ask?

What characters will you interview?
