News Writing (Fall 2011)

Share your own creative ways to remember AP Style punctuation tips.

I’ve shown you a few of my own attempts to make fun ways to remember commonly confused words (see a list).

You can use the DIY LOL Meme Generator, or make a comedy video, or record an original song, etc.

The only stipulations are

1. your creative contribution should include multiple examples that teach your chosen concept (with “right” and “wrong” examples clearly marked and explained)
2. you have to submit something that I can link to, so future journalism students and Setonian staff members can benefit from your creativity, and
3. you have to be willing to revise (in case, for instance, there’s a minor error in the content, or the audio is weak, or the file is too large, etc.)

There are 15 items. You can work in pairs, so long as at least one person is working on each of the 15 items in the chapter.

1. Ashley B.
2. Jenna B.
3. Michelle D, Kiley F., Abbey F. (there’s a lot to cover in this one, not just the comma rule, but also coordinating/subordinating conjunctions and independent/dependent clauses)
4. Olivia G.
5. Jalen G.
6. Jered J.
7. Sarah L.
8. Jessica O.
9. Chelsea P
10. Katelyn S. and Alexi S. (you’ll need to cover independent/dependent clauses and coordinating/subordinating conjunctions, too)
11. Beth Anne S.
12. Sarah T.
13. Elisa T.
14. Stefanie W.
15. Stephanie P.
