Discussion: Story 1 Outline
I need the worksheet outline completed. I have attached the links in the instructions attached. If you take this assignment, I would like to also use you for the next assignment which would be due this Sunday. After this assignment is completed, I will make another post for the second assignment. They kind of go hand in hand. I have also attached the instructions for the other assignment so you can see what’s ahead. For tonight though, I only need the discussion outline completed.
Follow the steps below using the Discussion Board Assignment 2 worksheet and complete the initial post:
- Review the corresponding Week 2 Lessons and Resources in the classroom.
- Identify your Story 1 idea.
- Consider the following about your story idea:
- Story ideas can include: news article, press release, event coverage, profile on someone in your community, one aspect of a community issue, etc.
- Who will be your relevant, informative source to interview for this story? Who do you have access to?
- What fresh, new or different angle can you take on this story? Why should an audience come to you for this story? (Consider localizing the story to a geographic area or specific community).
- What is the value of this story? What are the newsworthiness factors? Clearly identify the “So what?” and impact of the information.
- Is this a large topic area that can be broken into categories and subcategories and then story ideas?
- Using the Discussion Board Assignment 2 Worksheet, provide an outline for your story. This outline includes:
- Story summary, newsworthiness/value, the 5Ws, interview sources and information-gathering methods.
- Summarize three additional follow-up or related story ideas.
- Use the Discussion Board Assignment 2 Worksheet below to complete the assignment.
- Post the completed Discussion Board Assignment 2 Worksheet to the Discussion Board. (You can either copy and paste or upload the file through the content box).
