Feature Story Drafts

Directions

For this individual Blog Post, please submit, a draft of your Feature Story for your Website Project. You are welcome to submit the Feature Story at whatever draft stage it is in, e.g if you only have a very rough draft, upload that OR you are welcome to upload a draft that is nearly complete. Please just submit as much (or as little) as you would like to receive feedback on. You are welcome to submit the draft a format of your choice.

For Your Consideration

As I explain in this week’s supporting materials and class session, a successful Feature Story should include the following rhetorical features: direct appeal to audience; strong opening lead; description of an otherwise overlooked topic, place, event; factual supporting evidence; background information; and a directive conclusion.
