Observe and Report

Good writers need to observe the world around them.

Take a look at recent news photos:

Washington Post

USA Today

Orlando Sentinel

Arizona Republic

1. Pick a photo.
1. Write down 5 observations about that photo. (Who, what, where, when, why or anything you observe)
3. Write 5 questions you'd like to ask the people in the photo or the person who took the photo.
4. Write a new caption for the photo.
5. Think of a headline for the story that would go with this photo.
