Today we spent time discussing what your investigative journalism article has in common with other investigative journalism articles, including a mentor text on sleep texting. Here's the link should you want to see it again.
As table groups you found what you shared in common. Some of these included:
-leads
-titles
-quotes from at least three sources
-quotes from experts
-allusions
-POW! words
-specific details
-identified sources
-clearly stated issues
-statistics
-narrative segments
-and a few others
Tonight you need to revisit the writing and sharpen it even more.
Add an interview and information from an expert source.
Add another POW! word or two.
Add an allusion to make the writing more vivid.
Add statistics that support what you are saying.
Add a sentence that clearly identifies what it is you are writing about.
Come to class tomorrow with a paper that is even stronger than the one you came with today. It takes time and effort. Tonight, you can make sure that time and effort pay off.
Until next time...
