Be thinking on your final project.  Email me ideas.  Huge amount of latitude here.  You might also find that this article review can grow into a final project.

Articles have beginnings, middles, and ends.  Think Lemon-shaped.  Interestingly, beginnings and ends have similarlties. We have a number of options; look at these seven strategies for opening.

News article openings are good for the lay audience.  Why?  Several strategies:

  • highly visual
  • interesting case
  • hook with tidbit of interesting information
  • topic (timely)

For technical audiences, open with

  • review of logos (detail of costs, population size, enormity of problem)
  • controversy
  • new application or breaking news
