Walk Two Moons
Fogby Carl Sandburg
The fog comes in
on little cat feet
It sits looking
Over harbor and city
On silent haunches
And then moves on.

Tips on Writing a News Article
Make your headline dramatic so your audience
will want to read further.
The lead should contain a summary of the who,
what, where, when, why, and how information.
Report facts. Do not include your opinion in
the article, though you may quote the opinions
of other people as part of the story.
The information in the body should give details
that support the basic information stated in the
lead. More facts, statistics, and quotations are
examples of the kind of information to include
in the body.

Tips on Writing a Short Story
Keep a short story simple. It should have only one or
two important characters and one or two settings.
A short story begins quickly, often in the middle of the
action. The main characters, setting, and problem are
described at the beginning of the story.
The plot is well-organized and interesting. It is not too
long, complicated, or predictable.
The story’s events lead to the climax, the most important
part of the story. The main character comes face to face
with his problem and is changed in some way.
The main problem is resolved in the falling action and
the story’s ending.

Personification Examples
The stormy sea raised its huge arms
and sent them crashing down on the
tiny village.
As I walked through the darkening
forest, the trees whispered their
secrets to one another.
The flowers welcomed the warm
rays of the sun and turned their
bright faces toward the sky.
