My Course Description:
This is the 5 W and H class: the who, what, where, when, why and how. We will learn how to write feature stories, profiles, new stories and more. We will also follow a university news website and blog about it each week. At the end of the semester, we will go over what we learned following the student news site and share it with our class in a video blog.
