Backup Advice (J-Web)

Read the handout called "Nat Gruf Notes" on J-Web, in Handouts. Use that article as your resource to write a 400-word story. You may work with a partner. You don't need to do any outside research -- just use the information I provide you to find the story.

I had initially planned to have you do a city council reporting activity, but on reflection I thought I'd rather see how you do on a similar exercise that's based on a news feature.

Workbook 3 will be the 400-word article, submitted in Turnitin.com, and due Friday.

  • Read chapters 1 and 2.
  • Write a half-page reflection and bring a printout with you to class.

I will introduce the weblogs in class on Friday, after which I would like you to start posting your agenda item and peer comments as I described them in class. But for now, just bring the half-page reflection to class.


Note that I am also asking for a different half-page reflection for today's other reading assignment.

Language, Tone, Concision
