Literacy
Complete your "Breaking News Story" for the "Stonehook Schooner.". Make sure you answer the questions Who? What? Where? When? How? It only has to be about a paragraph. Use SENSATIONAL LANGUAGE. Use detail and description to make what Matthew did sound AMAZING.

Here is a sample news story (a bit longer ) written by a student in California. This is written in the first person, but you are writing what happened in the third person. You can fill in missing details that are not in the story..... be creative...

A Deadly Fire Season

“Wake up, Jaxon. We have to leave right now.” That was all I heard my mother say. It was 2:30 in the morning, and we had just been issued an evacuation order from the fire department.

A massive wildfire was approaching our house. We jumped into our car and drove away as quickly as we could.

Hours later, on what was supposed to be a typical school day, I learned that our house in Malibou Lake, California, had been reduced to rubble. Many other houses in the neighborhood were either damaged or destroyed.

The fire had started on November 8 in the Woolsey Canyon north of Los Angeles. It raced through the canyons of Los Angeles and Ventura counties, reaching my neighborhood a day later.

Over the course of two weeks, the Woolsey Fire burned nearly 97,000 acres. More than 295,000 people had to be evacuated, and three people were killed.

The fire was one of several that began in California in early November. The Camp Fire in Butte County claimed the lives of at least 86 people. It was the deadliest and most destructive fire in the state’s history.
