(1) Read the two Jimmy Breslin columns that I have provided here and write your reaction to them.
Did you like them? Why or why not?
Do they illustrate the traits of good feature writing? I know Mitch Albom thought so, but what else did you notice that seemed typical of feature stories?
Which one did you like better? Why?
How would you describe Breslin's writing style? Do you think it's effective? Is there anything about his writing style that you think would improve your writing if you wrote that way? If so, what?
You don't have to answer all of these questions, but answer the ones that help you write a good response.
(2) View the presentation about features stories available at this link, If you were making a Top 10 of the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS ABOUT FEATURES that you learned by viewing this presentation, what would they be? Post the list to your blog.
Post (1) and (2) to you blogs.
