Here are a few “box” additions, formatted as requested, to integrate into the article. I’ve placed them where they seem most contextually relevant, but feel free to adjust.
Thoughts on the approach:
the instructions were very specific, and the formatting is quite distinct. The boxes do stand out. The word count limit is a good constraint, forcing conciseness. The AP style requirement is sensible for a news-oriented piece. I think the “Reader question” format is the most interesting, as it directly engages a potential audience thought process.
The biggest challenge is finding facts that fits both the word count and the “Did you know/Pro tip/Reader question” framing. It’s easy to write longer, more detailed explanations, but harder to distill them into these short, impactful snippets.
