I can create written texts for a variety of audiences and purposes (Grade 6, ELAL)

This week we took our first shot at news article writing! Before we started our news article, we watched a video on a new urban living experience called The Line. We were then given a piece of paper with information on it. We learned that we needed to read through the information and categorize it into 2 categories: most important information and less important information. 

We learned that our news article should be organized in the following way:

• Headline
• Byline 
• 5 W paragraph (Who, what, when, where, why)
• Paragraph with the most important information
• Paragraph with less important information

Here is a look at our progress so far!
