PRE NEWS WRITING ACTIVITY

UNEDITED POST

Tomorrow, 23 November 2009, you will work on your PRE NEWS WRITING ACTIVITY. You need to download the material by clicking on the link and bring a hard copy to class.

On Tuesday, 24 November 2009, we will work on your PRE NEWS WRITING ACTIVITY. You will ask at least three of your classmates to edit your news article by observing the Manual of Style and Usage for Scholastic Journalism and the "15 Rules on Clear and Effective Journalistic Writings." Before the class will end, I will show you a sample fire news story based from the material that you will use tomorrow.

On Thursday, 26 November 2009, we will have a news writing workshop and critiquing. We will use your fire news stories.

I may not be able to attend my classes on Friday, 27 November 2009. Ang Kadluan and The Makati Science Vision will attend the Department of Education-National Capital Region Secondary Schools Press Conference in Saint Mary's College in Pasay City. Whatever the case, I will give you something to work on.

Before you attend my class tomorrow, make sure to visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U8Okb16okE and to watch the video posted by the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting. As much as you can, read the text comments and watch the video responses.

If you find an interesting video about news and news writing, send an e-mail to alex_escote@yahoo.com.

In addition, you must also read WHAT IS GOOD WRITING?. It will help you a lot.

Cheers!
