In this activity, you'll create working drafts of your three stories: a news story, a feature story,
and an opinion piece. You should have either a plan or a complete draft for the news story
and the feature story, but you have not yet begun the opinion piece. Once you have drafts of
these three pieces, go through an initial revising process as well. Follow the strategies in this
unit to help you. Your working drafts should include a news story of at least 150 words, a
feature story of at least 300 words, and an opinion piece of at least 200 words.
Submit your completed drafts of all three stories, along with a brief two- or three-line
description of your revising process. What did you find to change or rework? How do you
think your revising process improved your three stories?
