MAY 26th - All about W's


Today, we started the session with readings of two long news reports. One on the misuse of the Pallikaranai marsh and the second on the condition of people who were affected last year by a cyclone in the Sunderbands.

Having done this, the focus was on the 5 W's - who, what, when, where, why - and how we need to seek info that answers these questions in order to write a good news story.

We also learned how to keep to a KISS - Keep it short and simple.

Class was entertaining and surely awakening and loads of fortune cookies to hold on to!
