Tuesday / Wednesday March 1 and 2 writing your own tabloid article cumulative assessment

Learning Targets:
I can develop the topic thoroughly by selecting the most significant and relevant facts, extended definitions, concrete details, quotations, or other information and examples appropriate to the audience's knowledge of the topic.
I can use a variety of techniques to sequence events so that they build on one another to create a coherent whole and build toward a particular tone and outcome...(e.g. tabloids)

Essential question: How does writing technique impact the tone of a journalistic narrative?
