Burma (officially known as Myanmar) and Anthropological Rights” and The Repression of Ethnic Minority Activists in Myanmar”

general article writing

Description

This assessment consists of two parts: reading two articles and creating a headline and summary of those articles. Please read through the details for each part before starting the activity. If you have questions on either part, please contact me 

Part 1: You will be reading two articles on the troubles in Myanmar. After you have finished reading, you will fill out the Shrinking Paragraph template. You will then take the information from this template and use it to create your final article and headline:

Part 2: Now that you have read both articles, combine your summaries into one news article. You will also need to create an effective headline that grabs readers’ attention and entices them to read your article. You may use your Article Formatting notes as a guide for writing. Your news article should include the following:

  • a two-paragraph news article written in the inverted pyramid format
  • information from both original articles
  • a headline that tells the main point of the summary
  • correct grammar, syntax, and use of other language conventions
  • ***article 1*** http://www.globalissues.org/article/147/burmal-officially-myanmar-and-human-rights
  • ***article 2***https://www.amnesty.org/en/countries/asia-and-the-pacific/myanmar/report-Myanmar/

What is a summary and what does it mean to summarize?

Summarizing is how we take larger selections of text and reduce them to the bare

essentials.

Summarizing means including only the most important information.

A summary tells the main idea of the text.

Step One: Evaluate the headlines and organizational pattern of the two articles.

Article One: Headline:

Emotional or intellectual appeal? Supported by which words?


Format:

Inverted Pyramid or Narrative format? Supported by which evidence?


Article Two: Headline:

Emotional or intellectual appeal? Supported by which words?


Format:

Inverted Pyramid or Narrative format? Supported by which evidence?


Step Two: Write a summary of each article you have read in 75–85 words.

Article One:


Article Two:


Step Three: Shrink it! Take the summaries you have written above and cut out

those words and phrases that are “fluff”—that is, words that are not necessary to

the main idea of what you have written. Reduce your summary to 45–50 words.
