ASSIGNMENT TWO

Please paste the broadcast script you wrote in class on Sept. 10 based on the news wire report here.

A road accident kills a Canadian soldier and injures 3 others this morning. NATO spokesman has said: “soldiers were accompanying a supply convoy through Kandahar province when their armed jeep hit a civilian truck. This is the 8th fatality Nato-led troops suffered since the late 2001 US-led invasion that toppled the Taliban regime DELETE[and taking command of southern Afghanistan.] NATO suspected that this road accident is related to Taliban militant.

YOU SHOULD NOT SAY "THIS MORNING" IN LEAD.NO NEED TO CITE NATO SPOKESMAN.

THE STATEMENT ABOUT THE 8th NATO FATALITY IS NOT TRUE. THE LAST SENTENCE IS WEAK. I THINK YOU DID NOT UNDERSTAND THIS STORY.

ASSIGNMENT THREE

ASSIGNMENT FOUR
Write three pitches that you and some classmates can actually produce with the time and resources available to you.

The audience will be English speaking You Tube viewers. Your pitch should offer them something they cannot see elsewhere. This means slice of life and human interest stories are OK, but try to come up with some hard issue pieces or stories related to breaking news as well. Foreigners love to hear about: The Olympics, counterfeit or dangerous products, the environment and global warming, martial arts, student trends, China's economy, interesting tourist destinations, and anything unusual or surprising. Think about a story you would like to hear about in another country, and try it here.

Also think about the big stories in the world, and look for a Chinese connection. Are there Iraqi students here? Does China have an Islamic insurgency? What do Chinese students think about the US presidential race? Who is in charge at the Palestian Embassy here now that the Palestinians have split amid civil war?

Your pitch should include the names of the people you plan to interview, and the shots you plan to include.
