hey guys i have an assignment for english and i am having a little trouble starting out. my assignment is to write a news article in the role of a person. this is the basic criteria and info for the paper.
Assignment: Imagine you are one of the following and it is October, 1994.
v UN soldier
v Red cross volunteer
v A representative from the Clinton Administration
v A Rwandan refugee who goes back to Rwanda in 1995
As one of the above, you will now play the role of journalist. It is your job to write a news article as you believe that person would. Remember, you will be “viewing” through the eyes of the person’s title, job, etc. from the list above. Since this is a news article you must be clear, focused, and non-emotional. Be sure to answer the basic journalistic questions.
she didnt really specify how long the paper should be for a news article. and im wondering how i should start the article off, should i introduce who i am and what my title is. and in what order should i answer the journalistic questions: who, what, where, when, and why. thanks alot for any help!
