News Basics Test on Friday, October 12

Good morning all,
After reviewing another round of news writing assignments, I've decided to give a test on news writing basics...

Be able to write an active headline
Be able to identify and write a lead
Understand the inverted pyramid and how to write with it -

Know how to attribute quotes properly
Be able to identify the difference between fact and opinion... be objective
