Writing

This project will consist of students creating a news article about a primary document as though they were there when it happened as a newspaper article.

  1. Must use a primary source as your main focus, but also use secondary sources for your surrounding information (See point 4)
  2. 1000 words
  3. Each news report must contain the following
    1. Daily news, what is happening in the county or world at the time of the primary document. (This is where you will need secondary resources)
    2. Information about the author, who are they, what do they do, why are they creating the primary source? (Again, here you will need secondary resources)
    3. A summary of the primary source itself. Hit the main points, why has the source been created, what does the author hope to achieve, who is the intended audience, etc.?
    4. Finally offer an editorial. Do you think this source will be good for the country or do you think it will have a major impact? Here you will want to look at the actual effect the source had and try to work that into your reporting.
  4. Must include a bibliography in either MLA or Chicago Style.
  5. Remember: you are creating something as though you were there at the time, try to put yourself in the shoes of someone witnessing the world at the time of the source’s creation.
