Newspaper Model

Today we will study the Newspaper Model for telling stories.  Even though we are mainly focusing on broadcast story telling, we can learn a lot from the Newspaper model.  In fact,  if you desire to be a broadcast journalist, I highly suggest you get experience writing for the newspaper as well.

You will read about the newspaper model and watch several how to videos about writing for newspaper.  

Go to this website and read the whole article and watch the 3 videos.

Take notes on the article on your blog:

Some important points to take note on:
-Purpose of Newspaper Articles
-Types of Newspaper Articles
-Newspaper Articles should be objective...
-Format and Structure
-Language
-The 5 W's:  Who/What/Where/When/Why  (sometimes How)
-The Lead
-Steps to writing a Newspaper Article





We will watch some of the WALLDO examples at the end of the period.
