might be interesting to change that play-by-play to a newspaper report. >>
Bob,
Thanks for the suggestion. My students write newspaper articles all the
time. We covered the election in history by producing a newspaper, and it's
one of the most popular choices in my reader's workshop ("Turn an event in
the book into a newspaper article or write an editorial on an issue that was
presented in the book you read").
They are very comfortable with the format which makes it ideal for this kind
of assignment. I'll try it. It's certainly simpler than the advertising
poster for the time travel agency I was toying with ("Book your trip to the
Coliseum today! Scores of people are enjoying this exciting trip each and
every minute! By this time next week, you will have been thrilled and
excited by the gladiators who fought centuries ago . . . .")
