Today, your goal is to write two newspaper articles re-counting the Battle of Cowshed. The directions are simple:
In your reader’s notebook,
1. Draw a detailed map of the battle, and explain why the animals were victorious. This should have been done yesterday.
2. Write two short news articles about the rebellion; one article from the point of view of the animals and one from the point of view of Man.
3. Use techniques that are used in newspaper writing:
- create a catchy headline and/or subline for your articles
- be sure to answer the basic five questions: who? what? where? when? and why?
- you might include interviews from various characters to help you "tell" the story
- be sure to represent the appropriate point of view for each article
