| Your
research has drawn to an end, and
it's time to write Lou's article. Your "source" has told you that
s/he is responsible for Bob Sheldon's death. All the evidence is
in your hands, but the Greaser and Soc world is a tense and sometimes
complicated place. How will you let
the people of Oklahoma learn about the world of the Greaser or
Soc? For this step of your iAdventure, you will need to complete Guide 4 of your research packet. Don't forget that you will have to visit every link and collect information. Different formats for newspaper articles exist. You will need to investigate information about each format before jumping in with both feet. Discover the best way to write a lead for a newspaper article. (It is very different from a five paragraph essay!) Once your article is complete, it will need to be typed in the correct format in Word. You will also put your ad (from the propaganda unit) with your article for a layout. |
