COMM 209 -- assignment for next week ... and a quick-and-dirty "quote-kebab" story format

Write a back-to-school story ... 500 words ... bring in a draft Monday ... or a tale of woe ... we'll discuss it, see how far we've gotten and take it from there. Completed story due Wednesday.

How to do it? Follow this link to the Reporter's Toolbox, http://www.snn-rdr.ca/snn/reporterstoolbox.html, a website for Canadian high school journalism students that is obviously written by working press.

Lede - school is starting up again at Benedictine. (Or, a Plan B for fallback if you need it: Spring is right around the corner, and people are thinking of spring.)

Interview at least three (3) people.

Here's a format you can use I like to call it a "quote-kebab" because I string the quotes together like a shishkebab. Like this:
