Homework for the weekend due on Tuesday

Find a feature article in the newspaper - cut it out (make sure it has sidebars)

Break the article apart in terms of its effectiveness

What works and what would you use in your own writing? - Be specific... highlight parts of the article and then reference them specifically...

Consider all of the following:

• Headline
• lead
• paragraphing
• journalistic style (language used) - diction (word choice)
• direct/indirect quotes
• images/pictures
• sidebars
• ending
• organization or structure chosen for the article.
