Task
Your job is to create a story
for the sports section of your radio show. Your part of the
broadcast should sound like it was performed in the 1930s.
Process
1. Select a sports event from
the 1930s; you may cover any sport of your choice.
2. Collect at least four sources
on this single event.
3. Read and reread your
sources to collect information for your inverted pyramid.
4. Create notes for your
inverted pyramid on paper. Consider what your audience needs or wants to
know right away.
5. Draft your story.
6. Create your headline.
7. Conference with your
group and revise.
8. Practice your performance.
