Do Now: Click on this preview story from the NY Giants game, from last Sunday.
Read the article and compare it to the Philadelphia Eagles preview article you read yesterday. How is it similar? How is it different.
Read it. Discuss it with your partner. Scroll down and read the Eagles article again, (it is the next post if you scroll down). Be prepared to DISCUSS IT in class. MEANING- YOU MUST SPEAK LOUDLY ENOUGH SO EVERYONE IN THE CLASS CAN HEAR YOU!

NEXT- we are going to practice writing a PREVIEW story by writing a fake one first. This is the outline for one:
The Perfect Preview Story
Directions:
Select and research an upcoming sporting event at your school. Write down what you already know and make plans to find out the missing pieces of information.
Upcoming Event _____________________________________________________
1. Time and place of game/match
2. Season record of both teams so far, season overview
3. Key statistics you would like to use for your story
4. What coaches, players and/or fans will you be contacting?
5. Relevance game has on season if applicable
6. Description of atmosphere and crowd enthusiasm.
Use the fake information from the HANDOUT, which is the BACKGROUNDING information that we will have to do as reporters to write a real preview story.
