I need help with this activity:

'Imagine that you are a columnist for the Verona newspaper. Write a column in which you cover Capulet's party, noting the guests, their outfits, and interesting gossip. Include your interpretations and understanding of the emotions running through the party.'

Can someone please help and give me suggestions on how i can do this?

Thanks

First, take notes on the party, making sure you include the details required in your assignment.

Then write up your notes in a newsy and entertaining fashion.
