As a class, discuss a "what if" story. Begin with the name of a prominent local celebrity. Then have each member of the class add in sequence a detail about what might have occurred in an accident or crime that happened to him or her. Evaluate each additional detail in terms of its newsworthiness. How does each new detail change or not change the order of how the story would be told? Discuss what, if you were writing an online version of the story, you might link this story to—what kind of Web sites, giving what information.
