Due Friday, Sept. 17. Worth 6 points with bonus!
Part 1
List 3 interviewing how-tos that were mentioned in lecture today. Give a concrete example of how you would do each in a real-life situation.
Part 2
Correct these sentences. There may be more than one thing wrong in each sentence. (Tip: Can we say, "Punctuation Guide?")
Grammatically wrong
1. Defeated in the house, the Senate now gets to debate the bill.
Stylistically wrong
2. The 19-year-old boy got a ticket for jay-walking at 9 PM last night.
See if you can catch what's wrong.
3. Meredith ran away from home, she was so angry that night.
This should be easy (Hint: there are three things wrong):
4. "I wonder if this is how you punctuate this quote?" Brittney bellowed.
OK, now that's enough torture. Answer this question for a bonus point:
5. Why is it important for journalists to get grammar and punctuation and spelling right?
