| Bonus Points for discovering the Artist! |
Today is a new day and we're just getting started! BUT, around the world, life has been happening even as we sleep. There is no stopping time. Turn, Turn, Turn. (Do you know that song?) So, let's jump in and see What in the World is Going On? Check out these current stories from around the world. Choose one of the 7 articles to share the W,W,W,W, W? (Yes, you know what that means. Think about it!) Be prepared to share a 60 second oral news report with all the details - and hook the listener on why they should care about your story. Please independently follow the steps below:
1) Read the article. Read it again. Read it one more time.
2) Record the Who, What, When, Where, and Why? details on Microsoft Word or in your own handwriting.
3) Reformat the information in your own style (that would be the voice of your writing!) Be concise! Write a news article that you could read aloud to your class.
4) Practice reading your article until you are VERY familiar with the content and feel comfortable presenting.
5) Prepare to Air! On DESHA Radio, you'll be able to show what you know! Give it your best shot!
Leave your questions as a Comment on this posting and I will respond ASAP. Remember, you have only 3 LifeLines to ask your buddy for help.
Feeling Curious,
Mrs. W
NOTE: Done? Print a copy of your news article. Save it to your flash drive. Bring your flash drive to me.

Hey
Are we supposed to find the 5 Ws on the article we had to read 3 times or pick one of the 7 atricles?
Mrs. Walters Pablo Picasso made the painting it is called the dream
Anonymous: Choose one of the 7 articles! Read it 3 times. Identify the 5 W's and continue with instructions!
Bridget: Try again
Conner: Hey!
r the stories under cool clicks in the link website
What does reformat mean
iknow now salvador dali is that right
Ok Tahnk you!! I get it now!! =)))
Yep - the headline story is large - and then the cool clicks under that....all are stories for you to choose. Thanks, Conner.
Reformat means - put it in your own words - and make it sound like a radio show! Thanks, Tehya.
The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali
isnt that correct or do we only get one chance
Yep, Bridget! Good job!
What does "concise" mean?
Are we accually going to present these?
What do we get for it though ??? :)
Do we do the [Calling All Astronauts! sign up know] ?
I don't get number 3.
Click on "concise" Mr. Anonymous and you will find out the meaning.
Yes, Tehya, we are going to present.
Kudos to you, Bridget!
Maddie, stick to the challenge for today entitled, "What in the World is going on?"
Mollie, Number 3 means write the article in your own words. Be expressive as you might hear someone on the radio or TV tell it!
How come when I post a message, and then out my name where it says Name/URL and then I post it, it says from ANONYMOUS??? I'm sooo confused because now you do not know who said it??
Also what are we supposed to ask why.
are we suppose to write the report on word
is this really going to be put on the radio
i dont know if im sending comments or not
Yes, Bill, use MS Word.
Why is an open-ended question that might have many answers. Why did this happen? Why do I care?
Don't click on Anonymous - just be sure to put in your first name when you click on Name/URL, Katelon
Ok Mrs. Walters, my name finally came up!!! Thanks!! Now back to reading the atricle! =)
Gotcha!!Thanks!! :))
How Are You suppose To Tell When The Cow Power Started
Yes, Bill, your comments are coming through
Good job, Katelon!
Bridget, we'll be completing a broadcast of DES Simply the Best Radio for our class.
what do we do when we r done with #1 and #2 ???????????? :)
Ok, thank you for explaining it to me, and now I do the work right!
Move to step number 3, Madison, and re-write the story you read in your own words in "news" format.
For example, "Breaking news today as we discovered the amazing power of cows!"
How long have their been cows, Conner? :)
Yep, go for it!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
Why , What , When , Where..... What are the rest of the Ws.
ok thanks mrs walters
mrs. walters do you want me to put unknown for when if it does not have a date?
The 5 W's are just one way to collect important facts, so if a "When" is missing, then no big deal! Just use the information you collect to rewrite your article in an interesting way! Be creative - and make it sound awesome!
Tater Tot, what when why who where are the 5 ws
k thanks
Mrs.Walters can You come over to my computer to see if its ok so far?
Ok so when we write our thing to go on the "radio," do we have to use the words, when, where, why, what, and who?
You guys are doing a great job of working independently! If you want me to preview your writing so far, just clap three times!
what is desha radio????
Good question, Katelon. You DO NOT have to use the words Who, What, When, Where, Why? That is an organizational tool to gather information.
Ok so I just put the answers where who, what, when, and what?
Correct, Katelon!
DESHA are the call letters of our class radio station. (Dugger Elementary School High Ability)
do we need to save our rough draft of th 5 w's?????
Are we allowed to use the 5 Ws in our radio thing? (If we want too?)
then what do we do on step 5???????
Sure, Katelon.
You may save both documents, Madison.
Ok, because that is easier. :)))
When does all of this have to be done??????
After you print your news article, practice reading it aloud! When you're ready, come read it for me.
Yeah for you, Mollie!
We will finish today.
Thanks!!!!!!!
where do you want us to read our paper aloud to ourselfs at
Mrs.Walters, i think i am done but first i need your approoval.
You can practice in the corner near the brick (quietly :)
Do you see the instructions for calling me to your computer in a previous comment?
Whatr do we do wen we r done EVERYTHING wo i like caps :)-
Conner, when you have printed your article, saved it on your flash drive, given me your flash drive, and read "on the radio" then you may choose a logic challenge from the classroom.
Ok Mrs. Walters, I think I am ready to print but i need your approval!! :))
Woo-Hoo! You guys did a GREAT job! Congrats!
