Create a fake news article, fake product advertisement, or fake public service announcement using either Microsoft Word or Google docs. Prior to doing this assignment you should have done the Tools for Writing Papers lab, which includes doing research on how to create a table of contents, footnotes, bibliography (endnotes), and page numbers.
Your document must include the components shown below, using what you have learned from the lab. You might have to be creative in inventing footnotes and bibliography! The document should be cohesive, and the writing should be in your own words, with the target audience being another student in the class. Make it convincing!
