Today is the 3rd day of class. We were introduced to Inverted pyramid style of writing. For those of you who do not know what this style is, it is writing the most newsworthy information first and the rest in descending order of importance. It sounds simple but it really hard to do at least for a first time news student as myself. We discussed our Tuesday’s homework assignment, writing four lead sentences. Our reading assignment consist of chapters 1, 2, and 9 of our The Art of Creative Nonfiction book. Today’s written assignment is to write a factual news article in the inverted pyramid style.
In the humanity part of class we are reading The Story of Spain. We discussed in class chapter two “The Romans Were Here.” Our assignment is to write at least 250 word essay on chapters 1-2.
This trip to Spain is going to more then having a lot of fun. It is going to be a lot of work, as I am finding out.
Now, the lighter side COUNT DOWN begins for me, why just now? I have finally received my U. S. PASSPORT!!! I was really getting worried. My passport is really beautiful. Each page pictures a historical U. S. monument.
