Feature Stories in Writing!

Hi Guys!

So today, you're looking at feature stories--but in written form. This is going to work like the feature videos we've been working on, the only difference is... you're reading!

Here's how to go about doing this assignment:

1. READ the first feature story. Read it straight through. Seriously. You gotta appreciate it for all it's glory. Here's the link: Knife Sharpening Family
2. Next, set up your feature story circles, just like you have been.
3. Now, read the story again, closely. Start putting the features in the outside circle, and the nut graf in the inside circle. 

Sweet! You got through the first feature...

Now, here's how to go about doing the second feature.

1. READ the second feature story. Read it straight through. Seriously. You gotta appreciate it for all it's glory. Here's the link: Washington Redskins Tough Luck
2. Next, set up your feature story circles, just like you have been... do it again :D
3. Now, read the story again, closely. Start putting the features in the outside circle, and the nut graf in the inside circle. Again. :D

Make sure these get to me by the end of class!
