You have another current events assignment due next Friday. You will need to have 10 articles that effectively analyze the lead, headline and general author's craft based on the section of the paper the article appears in...
Remember news writing is different than feature writing... know what what kind of writing you are looking at and then look at how well the author follows the conventions.
Use the article. Write on the article. Explain how the things you underline function in the article... If the author uses a quote well, how does it help give information rather than the author just giving you the facts... if the lead works, why does it work? Don't just focus on content because some content will interest you more than other content and that isn't what makes something effective.
