YOUR TASK:
Choose something that happened to you today (or any time in your lifetime) and write a paragraph in which you "cover" it as a journalist. Post it to your blog as an assignment.
If you have time, try to evoke this event in a brief work of literature. How are the two pieces of writing different? How are they similar? How might you write a third account that combines elements of journalism and literature?
Fire Muster Parade
It is a perfect summer day, and people line the streets for blocks with chairs and blankets. Children are waiting with bags and buckets to collect candy. Today is the yearly Fire Muster Parade for the Burnsville-Eagan area.
Featured in the parade are groups from everywhere in the community. There is a karate school, and the giant signature grocery cart from Cub Foods. There are also many groups from area schools, specifically Burnsville High School. Some of the groups from BHS include the football team, the cheerleaders, the Blazzettes, Theatre Guild, and the Marching Band.
The Theatre Guild brought their pet dragon to the parade. The dragon is a life-sized puppet that will be controlled by crew members. It will be a prop in the high school's musical production of the movie Shrek this spring.
