INSERT YOUR HEADLINE HERELocation and Date

Open with one sentence that expresses what happened. It describes the main event.

Tell the rest of the story here. This is where you will fill in the details of who, what, when, where and how.

Be sure to include specific details from the story that help you tell the ENTIRE story.

Remain objective: only report the “facts” gathered from the story.

Be sure to write in complete sentences. If you would like to use this paper as a draft and type your article at home, a template will be on my website.
