A viral post makes a claim the school has not confirmed

Your task: Attributed event-status update

You are exploring Journalist work in a fictional case. Revise a headline or holding line with attribution. Develop one work sample as you investigate. Your writing stays on this page unless you download it.

Supplied fictional records

Viral post at 09:00 says “science fair cancelled”. Organiser notice dated yesterday still lists the event. No direct response has yet confirmed today's status.

Revise a headline or holding line with attribution.

One case, one work sample

1. Understand your role and task
2. Inspect the supplied records
3. Investigate the case

   Request both supplied checks before deciding. Each response becomes part of this same work sample.

4. Make or revise your decision

   Use the replies to choose the focus of your next draft. Keep the other open responsibilities in your note. You can revise this focus without losing your writing.

5. Complete your work sample

   Your records and investigation are already included. Revise a headline or holding line with attribution. Add your own explanation or next question.

6. Compare and reflect

   Compare your work sample with one possible explanation. You can return to edit your work before finishing. Reflection is about what you noticed, not a score.
