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."

You all know how to do this by now!

...

If you want to write something. *g*

Did I miss anything?

Marie signed in

Marie thought about the things that happened while she was in the cabins and started making a list of things she could write about.

Cheerleading -- not exactly about the cabins, but happened while we were there.

Doing radio with Willow -- same as above

Hanging out around campfires -- interesting?

She chewed on her pen cap and considered.

Cameron signed in.

Kawalsky signed in.

Alanna signed in.

The only things Alanna could think of were the prank wars and Bridge's ferriting. She sighed and began to tap out a pattern with her pen.

Janet signed in.

Janet started making notes about the evils of pressgang cheerleading.

And just to be on the safe side, she also started making notes about how being an early riser meant you got to use the hot water first.

"Hey, Chloe? I'm sorry I wasn't here last week, but there was a family emergency."

OOC: RL/access issues, actually.

"That's okay," Chloe said sympathetically. "Is everything all right now?"

OOC: Bah, stupid RL. *hug*

Janet nodded. "We had a few sleepless nights, but everything's turned out all right in the end. Is there something I need to make up?"

Rory signed in

Elizabeth signed in.

Elizabeth made a note in big block letters at the top of her page COLD SHOWERS.

Janet giggled. "That's what you get for sleeping in?" she suggested.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes, nudging Janet slightly. "Oh, yes. Because I was totally sleeping in."

Kawalsky chuckled to himself and started writing.

"By my standards, you were!" exclaimed Janet, sticking her tongue out at Liz. "You were lazy."

"I was up ten minutes later than you!" Elizabeth retorted, sticking her tongue out at Janet in return.

"That's why I never hit the snooze button on my alarm," said Janet. "Besides, it's not like you didn't get to warm up after the showers."
