Is it Newsworthy?

Part One: Using the dictionary on the computer or dictionary.com, look up and write definitions for these words.

Conflict
Action
Timeliness
Novelty
Impact
Proximity
Prominence

Part Two: Discuss with a partner what these words mean to you. Write definitions in your own words or give examples from your own life.

Part Three: Take pictures (or find pictures - remember to list your source) defining each of these words in terms of news here at Castro. For example, for prominence, you might take a picture of Mr. Pina, or a student who might be prominent for some reason. Explain your picture.

Part Four: Put your pictures and your writing (captions) into Pages or Powerpoint to create a final project.
