Writing Workshop - 6/6 - Journalism Classroom - Tuesday Morning
Chloe was on her laptop when everyone started coming into the classroom, checking various news sources for 6/6/06 madness. Once everyone had arrived, she finally set the laptop aside.
"Good morning! Okay, so today we're going to sort of finish up our trip through the wonderful world of non-fiction by talking about one of my personal favorite kinds of writing - news stories. It really is an art to be able to give all the necessary information about a story in the tiny space that newspapers and magazines usually give a reporter. Editors can be ruthless people, let me tell you."
"So, what I want you to do for me today is to give me 50-100 words about something that happened while you all were in the cabins these past two weeks. It can be something really simple, or something amusing, but the only thing is, it has to be true. We're going to be talking about making up the news next week."

Re: Turn In Your Assignment (6/6)
By Charles J. Kawalsky
Last week, the Meerkat cabin appeared to be stolen. The Meerkat residents were upset over their loss, and officials were unable to locate the cabin. The neighboring Stickbug cabin and its residents were blamed for the disappearance due to a prank war going on between the two neighborly groups. The Stickbugs vehemently denied any involvement in the theft.
"I did not steal that cabin, Meerkat cabin," Cameron Mitchell commented earlier today.
When asked for alternative theories, Stickbug resident John Crichton said, "Maybe it was the giraffes. They're always after me lucky charms."
Officials stated that the cabin was later returned to the rightful owners undamaged. There have been no official arrests, although there are some detentions lined up for the Stickbug cabin. Any and all accessories to the supposed theft have remained undiscovered.
An anonymous source claimed that there are suspicions that the Meerkats staged the theft of their own cabin to gain attention and to get the Stickbugs in trouble.
