THE WHITE DOG CAFÉ: I’LL TAKE A DOGGIE BAG TO GO.

THE WHITE DOG CAFÉ I’LL TAKE A DOGGIE BAG TO GO. YOU HAVE ALL HEARD THE EXPRESSION IT’S A DOG EAT DOG WORLD OUT THERE. WELL NOW IN WAYNE IT LITERALLY IS. OKAY NOT REALLY. THE TRUTH IS DOG IS NOT ON THE MENU BUT RIPEYE IS. THERE IS A NEW RESTAURANT IN TOWN AND IT IS VERY ELEGANT. THE ATMOSPHERE IS VERY NICE AND SO ARE THE EMPLOYEES. I TALKED IT UP WITH A YOUNG WAITRESS NAMED NATALIE WHO IS A TEACHER BY DAY AND WAITRESS BY NIGHT. SHE WAS IMPRESSED WHEN I FINISHED MY STEAK AND EVEN OFFERED ME DESSERT. I TOOK IT. THE FOOD IS ALL LOCALLY GROWN AND FARMER SUPPORTED. THE FURNITURE IS ALSO CRAFTED BY LOCAL ARTISTS AND IS MORE THAN JUST YOUR AVERAGE RESTAURANT CHAIRS AND BOOTHS. THE MENU IS EVER CHANGING AND IN LINE WITH WHAT CROPS GROW STRONG IN THE AREA. THE PRICES ARE A BIT PRICEY BUT WORTH IT IF YOU WANT TO IMPRESS YOUR DATE. IF YOU LIKE DOGS THAN YOU WILL LOVE THE ARTWORK. IT IS ALL DOG THEMED AND INCLUDES PAINTINGS, BOOKENDS AND SCULPTURES ALIKE. EVEN THE HEDGES OUTSIDE ARE IN THE SHAPE OF A DOG. I SUGGEST SAVING YOUR PENNIES AND TAKING SOMEONE YOU LOVE. IT IS LIKE A NIGHT ON THE TOWN AND LESS THEN TWO MILES AWAY FROM CAMPUS. GRADE W (FOR WAITRESS)

A note from an editor!

Hi Matthew,


Thank you for the time and effort you put into this piece, especially on a Saturday morning. I can tell you definitely took good notes of everything that was going on during the event!


We still have some work to do before this piece is ready to print. Your piece has a lot of information, but it doesn’t sound like a news article. What was the point of his speech/presentation? Why was he addressing this audience? What is Vanguard? What does the company do – who does it serve? You spend a lot of time narrating (for example, how he was injured), but did not report on the purpose of the event. You can maybe mention his appearance/joking about it in a sentence or two, but do not take several paragraphs to do so. Also, I like how you mentioned where the name “Vanguard” comes from.


There are a lot of spelling errors in this piece – make sure you proof read each sentence carefully.


I know I am getting back to you a little later I hoped, and I’m sorry about that! But if you have time tonight, please go through my suggestions and try to rework your piece. You can send me what you have tonight/tomorrow morning. Please bring a copy of it to the meeting tomorrow and we will discuss it further from there.


Once again, thanks for your hard work and promptness! Remember this is a learning process, and we are all part of the Waltonian team!


Talk to you soon!
