Can you create a modern news bulletin about an old event?
Bring news from the past into the 21st century. Must be something that occured earlier than the year 2000. Use today’s technology, current events, etc… to make it seem like it just happened.
Examples:
- President Abraham Lincoln has been assassinated while attending the new broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark. The killer apparently dressed as the title character, swung from behind, and struck him in the back of the head.
- This just in: The captain of the Titanic just tweeted: “S.O.S.!!! We’ve hit an iceberg and are sinking! #ThisTotallySucks”.
