  4. You are now going to rewrite the summary above in the form of a script. Write as though you are a news broadcaster. You will be reading your script on the 5:00 News this evening. The broadcast is to air in the closest Pride II Port of Call to where the story takes place. You will need to think about introducing yourself and your segment. You will also need to be sure you have complete news information (who, what, when, where and why). Remember what might make a news segment worth watching. Personalize your segment.
