Ballad Assignment

Your original ballad is due on Friday:

1. Choose a news article from an online news source.
2. Read the article and underline 5 important facts.
3. Write a stanza for each fact. Each stanza must be 4 lines long and follow a ABCB rhyme pattern - the 2nd and 4th lines rhyme.
4. Each stanza must include a refrain - you can make the last line of each stanza repeat as your refrain.
5. Make sure your ballad tells the story of your article.
