Question: On the Sidewalk Bleeding!? (Writing a fake news article, please help!?)!?
I'm in the 9th grade, and I read this story in the 7th grade, but we have to redo it now!. Anyways, I'm supposed to write a pretend news article!.
Here were the exact instructions:
Please write a newspaper article about "On the Sidewalk Bleeding"
->for a newspaper coming out the following morning
->include a headline, a byline, the 5 Ws & How
->include quotations
->300-500 words
->due Friday

Anyways, as you can see, I procrastinated!. Its not the writing I need help with, I can breeze through this assignment with no problem, I'm good at creative writing!. Though news articles are one of my least favourites!.
Anyways, I just want to know what day it is in the story!? Because the article is coming out the next morning, I just cant seem to find the date within the story!. also, any advice you have would be wonderful, you can never have to many opinions!.

Thankyou,

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The event would have happened the day before it is to be published but after that day's newspaper went to print!.

I'd set it as having happened the evening before!. (A young man was found bleeding about 9 PM Thursday on the sidewalk in front of the Ritz Hotel downtown!. He was apparently shot with a small caliber gun which was found at the scene!.)

The 5 w's include "when"!. Who, what, when, where, why!.

Good luck, Caroline!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
