Writing a newspaper article is a lot like writing an essay - you have to grab your audience quickly by stating a well-thought, detailed thesis in the opening.  In journalism, that opening is called a lead.  Take a moment to learn how to write a lead - click on the image below to read tips from the Purdue Online Writing Lab:

Today's Assignment:

• Module 12 Lesson 1 Assignment

Module 12 Lesson 1 Assignment - Perseverance Newspaper Article
For yesterday's practice, you researched a famous person who persevered through adversity. For today's assignment, you will use that research, the lesson notes, and the results of 2 interview you conduct to write a newspaper article.  You should interview one teen and one adult using the same questions from the practice activity.   Then review your evidence - the notes, your practice activity, and your 2 interviews.  Use the evidence to write a newspaper article for teens. Your goal is to motivate them to persevere through whatever leadership obstacles they encounter.  Remember that your audience is other teens.
**Don't forget the article -- some classmates have posted interviews but not a newspaper article.
