The wild pig, whom the fireman affectionately nicknamed \u201cTailgate,\u201d apparently wandered onto 1-94 around 8 a.m. and fell asleep in the middle of the two-lane freeway.<\/p>\n<p>St. Paul resident Geoffrey Saint was the first to come upon the 200-pound animal. \u201cHe practically took up the whole road,\u201d Saint said. \u201cI barely slammed on my brakes in time.\u201d Saint said the cars behind him followed suit, each stopping short after reaching speeds of up to 70 mph. Saint stayed in his car and phoned area police, who responded at 8:20 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>Lieutenant Terry Frank was the first officer on the scene. \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe my eyes,\u201d Frank said. \u201cHere was this huge, sloppy pig, just napping in the middle of the road, oblivious to what was going on around him.\u201d Frank said she attempted to rouse the pig by poking him with a stick. \u201cHe just kept on snoring,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>By 9 a.m., three fire trucks and four patrol cars had responded to the \u201csleeping pig\u201d call. \u201cWe just sat there and wondered what in the world we could do,\u201d Frank said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>News Writing Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hard news articles are written so that the reader can stop reading at any time, and still come away with the whole story. This is very different from an essay, which presumes that the audience will stick around to the end, and can therefore build to a finish. There is no need to put a \u201cconclusion\u201d on a news story. Each individual reader will \u201cend\u201d the story whenever he or she gets bored. A particularly interested reader (and your teacher) will keep reading to the end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Headline:<\/strong>\u00a0Convey the general message in as many words as will fit (usually quite a small space). A headline should be informational, and can be clever, as long as the cleverness does not interfere with the information or earn groans from readers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Lead:<\/strong>\u00a0The lead, or the first sentence of the story, is arguably the most important part of the article. Based on the content of that first sentence, a reader will either look deeper into the story, or move on to the next one.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 The who, what, when, where, how, why lead.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Experimental leads. If you answer the \u201c5 w\u2019s and one h\u201d on the second or third sentences, you can be more creative with the first. The results can flounder and die, or have a great impact. Some examples for the pig story:<\/p>\n<p>o\u00a0<em>Tailgate the pig lay snoring in the middle of Interstate 94, oblivious to the fire trucks and squad cars that had gathered around him.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>o\u00a0<em>Geoffrey Saint never could have imagined what he\u2019d meet in the middle of Interstate 94 during his drive to church Sunday morning.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Direct Quotes:<\/strong>\u00a0Quotes breathe life into a story, but can be abused. Don\u2019t quote material that isn\u2019t quote worthy. For instance, if Frank had said, \u201cOfficers arrived on the scene at about 9:00 a.m.,\u201d you wouldn\u2019t quote that. If she had said, \u201cThat huge pig just sat there with tears running down his face and I thought my heart would burst,\u201d well, that\u2019s far more quote worthy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paraphrased Quotes:<\/strong>\u00a0Here is where you could use what Frank had said and rewrite it: Officers arrived on the scene around 9:00 a.m., Frank said. No quotes needed, but the information still needs to be attributed to Frank\u2013 she\u2019s the one who said it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inverted Pyramid:<\/strong>\u00a0In a straight news story, it\u2019s best to get the most important information in your story up to the top. Readers will often stop reading after the first few paragraphs, so it\u2019s important that they have a good grasp of the story. Follow with the older or less important information. Omit unnecessary information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Length of Paragraphs:<\/strong>\u00a0This is different from a term paper for English class. Keep your paragraphs short (one to four sentences) and make each of your points concise. Readers grow tired of big blocks of text, so it\u2019s best to break it up a bit.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTyj99p60XCLyLk1htB7-1neRt8-2QdnenNlQ&usqp=CAU\"target=\"_http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"\/><\/center><p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unit 4: Writing Assignment Romeo and Juliet Newspaper Assignment *This assignment is worth 30 points You are a journalist who is sent to report on the death of Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet.
