Week 4

 This week in class we discussed how to write the intro to a news article.  The intro is the most important part of an article, as it is what hooks the attention of the reader and prompts them to continue reading. The intro should be very short, but communicate the main subject and make the reader want to continue reading. We were given an exercise to write the intro to an article about a dog attack. The intro had to communicate the settings of the incident and briefly share what happened to hook people's interest and make them want to keep reading.
