Review, Edit, Build, Update

1. Find one of your stories on castrocougarcourier.blogspot.com.

2. If you don't have a story posted on Castro Cougar Courier, write one! You could write a feature article about this class for the incoming students.

3. Focus on what makes something newsworthy. Who, what, where, when, why, how, conflict, action, timeliness, novelty, impact, proximity and prominence.

4. Work to build on your story. Decide if you need more information, quotes from students or teachers, photos or video.

5. If you find more information on a website or news website, be sure to list your source. For example, write: "According to cnn.com, ...."

6. Add at least three more paragraphs to your story.
