This week we have been working on newspapers. Here's our advice on how to write a great article:
1) Write a headline. They're 3-5 words and they tell you the whole story. The headline has to Be short and punchy. It has to make the reader want to read it. It has to be easy read and descriptive. You need to chose a topic that will excite the readers. It stands out because its bold and bigger. It's all capital letters. It could use rhyme and alliteration.
2) Write an orientation. It needs to make the reader read on and it needs to be short and punchy. It's got to be interesting and it's got to to summarise the story. This means tell the main parts.
3) Write the main body. This is the main part of the article. It's written in the past tense and its longer because its where you put all the detail. This part answers the questions who, what, where, when and why. We tried hard this week to write in complex sentences with clauses.
4) Write a reorientation: This is the end of the story. It needs to make you want to buy the next week's paper and it needs to be exciting. It needs to bring you up to date with the story. Therefore, we write it in the present tense.
