Newspaper Story Assignment Guidelines:

If you need to look back at your notes, you can view the Criteria for Newspapers powerpoint here: Criteria for Newspapers.pptxPreview the document

Your newspaper story must include:

A minimum of 1,000 words

At least three quotes from three separate individuals

You will be graded on the requirements above, as well as the overall story, clarity, structure of the story, and grammar.

You must also label (on a separate page) whether your story is informative, persuasive or entertainment. You must also identify your target audience, as well as the criteria (prominence, proximity, timeliness, oddity/uniqueness, consequence, human interest).

Please refer back to our notes if you need further assistance with labeling and criteria. If you have any questions, let me know!
