Humanities homework help: Compose a 2,000-word feature. The story can arise from one of your first assessment pitches, or it can be a new idea. This second feature must not duplicate the angle or recycle the research material from your first feature.
At the top of the page, write the name and website of the publication that you think is a good match for your feature.
Include a headline and a stand first. (But do not include a byline.)
You may exceed the 2,000-word limit by a maximum of 10%. Include a word count at the end of the feature.
You should have 3-4 interviewees for this feature. Remember that all interviewees must sign an interview release form. You need to submit the signed forms with your assignment. This is a university ethics requirement. You also need to record your interviews (using the Zoom record function or a recording app on your phone, such as Voice Memo, for example) and submit the .mp3 audio files with your assignment. This is an academic integrity requirement adopted by some MECO units.
Finally, embed three relevant copyright-free visuals (photos, tables, graphs, etc) into the feature document. These can be visuals you’ve created or you can source them from copyright-free stock photo sites like pexels, pixabay or unsplash (Links to an external site.). For each, include a caption that indicates the image source.
See the rubric below for further detail on how the feature will be assessed. Note that this rubric includes two elements not explicit in the rubric for the shorter feature: scenes and avoiding oversimplification.
Writers of the most effective features will be invited to publish their work on Salience.
