100W checklist to live by

1.      Did you write in the inverted pyramid style using one-sentence paragraphs? Every assignment unless otherwise specified needs to be written in this format.

2. Did you check your AP stylebook before turning in the assignment?

3. Reading sentences aloud allows you to hear awkward phrasing. Try it.

4. Did you look for wordy sentences? Wordy writing is bad writing. Try rewriting sentences using fewer words.

5. Did you use the correct format for hard copy and/or blog? Be sure your assignment follows the correct format.

6. Turn the assignment in on time to get credit for your work.

7. Is the lead dynamic? If not, rewrite it.


8. Have you read similar stories in the newspaper such as features, columns, etc. The more you read of these the better guideline you will have for how to write one of your own.
