Newspaper
Article
The newspaper article should be similar to real news articles. Make sure to include the 5 W's - who, what, where, when, and why. You should have a headline, byline, and a dateline, and the article should be set up in columns. It should tell the story of one of the myths concerning your g/g as it would appear in a newspaper. It should be at least 1/2 page long and include "quotes" from the witnesses.

This is similar to the news article, but instead of writing for print media, you are the reporter at the scene. With your microphone and camera person, you will narrate the ongoing news event, interview witnesses, talk to the g/g involved if possible, and generally give a live news broadcast on one of the myths that concern your g/g.
You must make a script which will be turned in after your "broadcast."
You may use PowerPoint for many of the projects, but make sure you have a reason for using PowerPoint. What are you doing that will look better in presentation software? Be aware that you shouldn't use dense text, so this is not a good choice for written myth summaries. Please bring your proposal to me for approval before proceeding.
Remember - PowerPoint is just presentation software. It is not useful for everything, and it makes some projects look worse. The bells-and-whistles are fun, but unless they add something to your presentation, concentrate on the information you are trying to convey.
