a. Tiger Woods op./ed. piece (he has a press conference today)
b. Haiti relief update
c. Winter Olympics hard news story or op./ed. piece.

4. construct your article with a strong lead, proper attribution, and write it to cut (inverted funnel). if it is an op./ed. piece, research the editorial piece in your textbook by using the glossary/index in the back of the book before you start.
5. print your article and submit to Mr. Roark. DO NOT email it.
When finished, work on chapter work, legwork, articles in the hopper, etc...
