5. Creative assignment
3
Option 1: Pretend you’re a news reporter and present the news of what
happened in the story.
You write down the article in a separate Word document reporting on the story.
Make sure the article has the typical elements (headline, introduction, paragraphs,
etc.).
The ‘presentation’ should last 2-3 minutes.
You can be creative, it shouldn’t be just one reporter while the rest watches. You can
switch reporters (one on the scene, others at the studio, etc.)
Try to include all the events of the story.
Bonus: You can also do interviews with people on the scene.
Come up with an alternative ending and write it down in a separate Word document.
Think about all the aspects of the story that you want to change.
Divide the roles in your group.
Everyone should have at least 5 lines of dialogue.
The play should last 2-3 minutes.
Bonus: Create a background image on the PowerPoint.
