 * 1) I will show the class a brief video of an event or an interview. Imagine you are a reporter who has just witnessed this event.

After viewing the event. complete the following A. Take five minutes to write down quickly in note form everything that you can remember about the event.
 * a little boy ran through the room
 * people were very confused
 * he came in, then back out, and then back out.
 * he ran through the isle.
 * dark hair
 * formal uniform

B. Using your notes, try to organize the"story" of what happened into a sequence in which the most important information is given first.

C. If you were able to have a still camera to record the event, what one picture would you most like to have taken?

D. Using the materials you have got, write a story for your local newspaper (include who, what, where, when, why) that tells what happened. You should include a sketch of your imaginary picture with a caption. (Use Tux Paint to draw the sketch. Go to File on the wiki page and upload the file to your page.)



E. Compare your story with those produced by the rest of the class. (Read at least 10 stories on the wiki.) Has everyone agreed what is the most important part of the event? Do you all have the same choice of picture? If there are differences, how do you explain these?

F. Do you think some versions are more accurate than others? Give your reasons.
