ASM

Wednesday, November 10

Today you are going to write a news article about last week's ASM. Here's the rub: you're going to do it with a partner. This is an important exercise, because it's a way to find out how another person thinks (aka: metacognition) when they write.

Here's the checklist we developed together as a class. Make sure your article includes all of the following:


 * a lede
 * objective voice
 * formal voice
 * starts generally and becomes more and more specific
 * a headline
 * quotations
 * paraphrases what people said
 * past tense
