News Article
On August 22, 2022, after we had learned about news items and their general form, Ms. Wiwin divided us into groups of four and gave instructions to pick a news article, write it down on an A3 piece of paper, and decorate it a. Also, the generic structure of it needs to be marked. After that, we all put it on the classroom walls. We then went around to see what other groups’ news are about and gave some comments and grades for the news. Here's my group's news article:
A D.C. police officer helped defuse a fight between teenagers in a Washington park by challenging one of them to a dance-off.
Seventeen-year-old Aaliyah Taylor says a woman officer arrived Monday and when she saw Taylor dancing to the popular song, “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae),” the officer laughed and said she had better dance moves. What happened next was a dance-off between the officer and the girl.
Onlookers recorded the dance battle on their cellphones, according to The Washington Post, which posted the video.
The officer said if she won, the teens had to leave the area.
We then made some questions regarding the news article:
1. what's the news about?
2. who had the dance-off?
3. the synonym of "onlookers"
4. what had been offered by the officer if she won the battle
5. Based on the text, which part is the background event?
