Nicole Bellman uses accurate newswritting in her tweets. The posts are clear and informational. I especially like the lasted short report on the Tigers' recent lost. It answers the 5 W's and still remains in active voice. I really like her choice of words.
Matthew Dockery makes this assignment look easy. His creative play on words and dead-on summaries of the stories grabs the readers attention. "Towson goes green with blue cans," is a simple lead and yet it is very original.

Melissa Hale wrote her tweets in active voice and did not make them too complicated. She was able to put the stories into her own words and condense them in such a way that we know just what they are about. I thought it was a good idea to include that Towson would be given its budget soon because that was overlooked by some of the tweets in the class.
