It is great to walk round town and see your posters up in shop windows. The next step in our campaign is writing media releases for local newspapers. Jess has contacted a number of newspapers and they have agreed to publish articles on our project. This morning we are focussing on writing these articles:

• Taihape Times - photo, no word limite (Teri & Becca)
• Straight Furrow - photo, no word limit (Ari & Josh)
• Ruapehu Bulletin - photo, no word limit (Cody)
• CountryWide - not too many words, photo (Cassie & Marika)

Before the writing began the students brainstormed how their articles could be structured:

• Good title
• Paragraph 1: Grab readers attention, relate to the readers' life
• Paragraph 2: Who, what, where, why, when, how
• Paragraph 3: Facts about the project, facts about pollution, what readers can do to help
• Paragraph 4: Conclusion, quote, summing up
  

Getting the word out there...
