Essential Question: How do you structure a news article?

Agenda:
1. Access to Team Drive

2. Inside Reporting: Story Structure p.49

How to format quotes

 3. Rough Draft Guidelines: (Due: Friday, September 7, by midnight)

• Length: 500 words
• MUST contain at least 3 primary (interview) sources and 2 secondary (research) sources
• Start a new paragraph with each change of topic or new quote
• Quotes should be direct quotes or indirect quotes:
  • Direct Quote Example: "[What your source said word for word]", said [title] [First Name] [Last Name].
  • Indirect Quote Example: [Title] [First Name] [Last Name] said, [summary of what the source told you])
• Avoid using "you", "I", "we/us" and other pronouns that aren't third person. 
  • Example: Instead of: Many of us think... say: Many students think...
• Avoid opinionated language UNLESS you are writing an opinion or review piece
• Make sure your story starts with an engaging lead and ends with either a quote that sums up the issue, an outlook into the future, or where to find more information. Opinion or review pieces can end with an overall verdict or a call to action
• Rough Drafts MUST be complete stories. We can't edit incomplete stories.
• MUST be run through Grammarly (include your screen shot in your doc)

4. Work on your rough draft.
