1. Topic : Spring Break. More specifically possibly Spring Break in Cancun, Mexico, binge drinking during Spring Break, or contrasting what students do during Spring Break (ex. Students who go on vacation vs. students who go on mission trips)
2. Wide range of topics and sources..
3. I suppose online newspaper article.. Want to do something more creative and unique than that. Any suggestions?
Your topic sounds good; try to narrow it down to some of your suggested choices as soon as you can. Also: some of your sources are problematic in that there not actually news stories or journalism covering something. For example, the ehow article is more of just a brief synopsis with links to other articles. There are no truly distinct features making it a journalism article (such as a reporter wrting the story, interviews, etc.). We'll talk about this more tomorrow in class, but you'll want to find some other examples for you to analyze.
ReplyDeleteCreative and unique? Well, there are numerous ways--particularly if you're tech-savvy. You say "online news article," If you check out any such story (on a credible news site), an true "online newspaper" article will of course be onlin, but it will also contain some pretty cool features like links to other articles, comment sections, video streams, etc. So there are numerous ways to be more creative. We can talk more about this if you'd like.
