Day 5: LOOKING BEYOND STORIES

The class started off with the daily routine of reading newspapers but with a difference today as everyone got to read a para. Also while each of us read we were helped in reducing story slugs to 2 or 3 words.

Today's main task was to discover some story leads out of the news which was read by everyone and also something which connnected to our neighbourhood.

Once the reading session was done it was time to find out the different story leads which struck in everyone's mind as the news was read aloud. Gradually everyone came up with their leads and a summary of what other leads could be done from the news read was done.

Today some interesting stories like a 'Two day old baby abandoned' and 'a slum girl topping her school examination' came up.

The session mainly concentrated on the need to think out of the box and to look a little beyond the actual detail.
