"Rest of the Story" Feature Writing 101 -The Structure let's see what he reports. Cameron did complete a paragraph with at least the Angle of his feature, which was a good one he identified and cultivated. 12th hole 15 monitor. ("Quiet Please") So with that angle, next we put meat on the bones. I explained a feature has to contrast, go beyond normal coverage. The contrast between seen and unseen. So built the lead up to the 'hook' of the story then talked about obtaining quotes on job description, freezing but fun, best part of job & benefits in life/golf game well beyond this tournament conclusion. Cameron then worked with me to create a conclusion to the feature story. Ideally, stories go full circle. Cameron really seemed to enjoy telling the rest of the story, the story viewers at home do not see and I'm sure, talking about a peer with a cool job during a PGA event, I asked him to type up (instead of pencil on paper notes) and print two copies of each of the reporting we've learned over the past few sessions. a) Live Report on the scene @ 1st Round b) Recap of Sea Pines PGA Event answering the 5 W's and giving viewers intrigue--young players to watch.

The first Industrial Revolution started in 18th century Great Britain because it had new technology, advanced transportation, a colonial market to sell goods to, and strong financial institutes that could invest in new inventions and factories. Europe fell behind Great Britain in industrial production because of the European craftsman guild regulations, custom and barrier tolls, transportation issues, and the fact that Europeans were more cautious and did not take risks involved with new inventions.
The Industrial Revolution was a time of great, life-changing inventions. The invention such as the furnace, the steam engine, the Spinning Jenny, and the "Rocket" locomotive changed the world forever. Railroads and steam locomotives far surpassed ships and canals in importance during the Industrial Revolution. There were both positive and negative impacts of the Industrial Revolution.

Negative impacts were no labor laws, pollution, and dangerous working conditions.
