you are using as a resource. Look
through the videos on BBC and Reuters before going to YouTube or just searching
the web
◦Remember, you are going to become a
person with this perspective, so get as much information as you can to help you
write AS a/the person in the situation/event/issue

event/situation/issue you are going to be writing about first

of the story map shared with you from the first story)
}In order to start writing your story
tomorrow (which is where you need to be), you need to have notes on at least 9
sources!!
