Journalism 101/201 (Friday, January 13 - 7th period)
"Good afternoon, children. Sign in as you enter, thank you."
"The title or caption of a newspaper article, usually set in large type," Rita said with a smirk. "That would be a headline, boys and girls. Headlines, as one might imagine, are a tad important. They inform your reader of the content of the article, and thus have to be a smidge...attention-grabbing."
She held up a slightly yellowed newspaper, which read, DUMBLEDORE'S GIANT MISTAKE in distinct, bold letters. Underneath the headline was a moving photograph of a large, uncomfortable-looking bearded man.
"This is a fine example. This headline not only catches the attention of the reader, but given that it is an exposé covering an error in judgement made by the headmaster of another school, the title is quite clever, if I say so myself," she said smugly. "You're more than welcome to read the article if you wish. It'll be up here on my desk for the duration of the period.
"Your assignment: I would like you all to write a headline - not a full article, just a headline - about something that happened to another student. You must get the full details of the story, because if your headline is interesting enough, I'll ask for elaboration.
"This must be turned in the next time we meet at the latest. Any questions?"
