5.3 Writer's Workshop: Professional Writing

You have worked on a few news writing skills. Now it's time to begin writing the drafts of each of the other necessary components:

  • A title banner with the creative name of your paper, the date, the price etc.
  • 2 other small articles, one should discuss how a character overcame a problem and demonstrated resilience (consider an interview)
  • An advertisement with prices and items appropriate to the setting of the novel
  • An editorial written from the perspective of a real or made up character from the novel
  • A picture with a caption (can be hand-drawn or from the internet)

You have worked on skills throughout the course that will help you be successful with creating these components. Be sure to submit the draft of your 2 small articles and editorial, so that your teacher can give you some feedback prior to publishing your e-zine and submitting for grading. You can access each of the dropboxes from the main course page.
