Choosing the Best Format

Journalists write stories about people, places, and things.  For them to do their job well, they need to discover the facts so that they can report the facts.  They do this so their readers can make up their own minds about a topic.

  • Where rocks come from.
  • How rocks are made.
  • How rocks are identified.
  • What rocks do.

You will use this information to tell the rock’s life story (biography).  You may choose how to tell the rock’s story from one of the following:

Your must explore all of the choice options and choose something that is different from what you usually use.
