Today, I selected what story I will use for project 4. I will be using the story of the Miracle on Ice, the 1980’s USA Hockey team that defeated the USSR in the Olympics. I will use the story of the team’s selections, coach Herb Brooks’ famous speech before the game, the game itself, and the call by announcer Al Michaels (“Do You Believe in Miracles? Yes!”!), which is probably the most famous sports call ever. To tell this story, I will be live blogging via tweets the events from the view of Al Michaels. I can include videos and GIFs in the tweets as if he is sitting in the announcer’s box reporting on the game like many of today’s sports reporters do. For sources, I will use the Disney movie “Miracle,” as well as a couple stories from online.
