 WRITING YOUR OWN PIECE OF NEWS (INDIVIDUALLY)


 * PRE-WRITING **

1. Choosing the topic of your news.

The topic of my news takes in account the World Cup.

What is a topic you like to talk about? (Think about some topics of interest). Or what is something you are curious to know about? (You may think about local events too, e.g. at UFMG or Faculdade de Letras, in your neighborhood/town/city etc).

I think that the World Cup is the issue of the moment because that I chose to talk about it.

2. Research about the topic you chose.

I researched in many sites and newpaper in order to specificated may topic. There is much information about this topic and to chose a specific topic was not an easy work.

3. Is there any recent news about it?

I read new of the last year when Brazil was choosen to host the Worl Cup. Most of the news that I read was written in this year. Some of them was written in May.

4. Brainstorm about the topic. What would be interesting to write about in your piece of news? I thought I would write about the shirts of the many global selections and choose the most beautiful one. However, it was very difficult because there is no concensus about it. So I decided to talk about the World Cup in Brazil and the expectation of Brazilians about it.

5. Is it possible for you to interview anyone who could talk about the topic you've chosen?

It was difficult to me. However, I interview my work collegue about his expectation about the World Cup in Brazil.

** PLANNING YOUR WRITING **

1. Who are you writing to? (Who is going to read your news? What kind of readers would be interested in reading it?)

My news is a kind of information that ever Brazilian people want to read, because it talks about the passion of ever one.

2. Make a general outline while planning your news. Don`t forget to choose a catchy headline ( the title of a newspaper story that is printed in large letters) and [|lead] ( further information that expands the headline).
