Week 6  -  Blog Activities 1. Practical A:  In Week 4, you were required to tweet and write a short story for your blog. This week, you should convert the quotes you gathered for that activity to tweets (you don’t need photos). You will then write up a short Storify article that incorporates those tweet/s based on your original interview. The story should be very similar to that which you wrote on your blog in Week 4, but you will need to watch for redundancy and may need to add more narrative. Include the link to the Storify article on your blog, and a short paragraph on your reflections of how easy/hard this was.  You do not need to re-interview anyone. You just need to take what you already have and reshape it for Storify. to Storify Story: Week 6 Short Story I enjoyed putting this story together, particularly after seeing the demonstration in the zoom session, with our Media Writing Lecturer, Kate Ames, on Monday night, 21 Aug 2017.

Week 5 – Blog Activities 1. Practical: Establish a Storify account. Do not use CQU or Media Writing in the title – this is your account, not ours. Once you have done this, ‘browse’ some Storify accounts of interest. Write a short reflection of your set-up experience and some of the accounts you review. I opened a Storify account and browsed some stories. One example: The Solar Eclipse Update is full of tweets, videos, photos and information about this wonderful natural event. The solar eclipse was on Monday 21 Aug 2017 in North America.

It didn’t make any sense to me, so, I had a quick look around, then logged out, thinking I will come back to it later. Fortunately, the zoom session, with our Media Writing Lecturer, Kate Ames, on Monday night, 21 Aug 2017, covered this topic. It was very

Practical: Interview two people and write their speech as a news report.  Interview One: I asked Shannon Payten-McDonald, if she would be an interviewee for me. Shannon works at the Cooma Universities Centre Snowy Monaro, where I go to study in peace, and receive support and help when needed. So, she was more than happy to be an interviewee for me, and discuss what things are important to her.
