Begin preparing for your next writing evaluation, a newspaper article. To do this, follow the steps below:

Choose or invent a news story to write about. It should be based on some event happening in Israel. (You may want to do research)! What you may NOT do is copy from a real newspaper. This would be plagiarism, a serious offense.

1. Regarding your story, answer these questions very briefly in one paragraph, your first paragraph.

a. Who?

b. What?

c. When?

d. Why?

e. Where?

Remember to be unbiased and to state just the facts.

2. In your second and third paragraph (which can be short) elaborate on the above, giving more information.

3. Bring to class on Tuesday, the first draft of your newspaper article. You will have some time in class to work on it before you print out your final version for me to mark.

Note: The final draft of your paper will be due on Thursday, June 4^th. On this day, you must bring both your first and final draft of your paper.
