Make correction for these two questions based on comment I gave.
Question 16
Point 5/10 The text states that regardless the medium, good writing needs to be clear, concise and accurate. The four basic functions writers must perform, as listed in the powerpoint and lecture are to gather information, isolate the MOST important elements, assemble the story, and communicate effectively. Find a story in the news this week that shows these four elements, and say why it achieves these basic needs.
Your Answer
A recent news story demonstrating the four basic functions of good writing is “As Tesla Stock Soars, Elon Musk’s Fortune Passes $300 Billion again”. The story gathered information about Tesla’s stock performance and the corresponding impact on Elon Musk’s net worth. The story effectively communicates the information to the reader, making it a prime example of good writing.
Question 17
Point 5/10 List 3 of the 6 common characteristics Papper lists as values that make up the typical news story. Find a story exemplifying each of these three values that you list, and say why you believe it supports this value.
Your Answer
Three of the six common characteristics of news stories are timeliness, impact, and proximity. A recent story exemplifies timeliness: “Millions without Water, Power as Death Toll Rises in Winter Storms.” This story is timely because it covers a current event, the winter storm, and its effects on the local area. A story that exemplifies impact is “Dozens arrested after mob storms Capitol; officials vow that more will be charged.” This story has a significant impact as it covers a major event that has changed the country’s political landscape. A story that exemplifies proximity is “We made it through. Small business owners are optimistic, but still face challenges almost two years into the pandemic”. This story highlights the struggles of small business owners in the local area and their impact on the community, making it relevant and important to the reader.
Hi Anderson,
For question 16 you did a good job sharing specifically how the writer gathered information. You needed to provide specific details to show how the writer assembled the story and communicated effectively.
Then for question 17 you needed to share how one story meet three of the six characteristics.
