Article writing

Before writing your article

• What type of article are you writing? (website, newspaper)
• Who is your audience? (adults or young readers?) -->
• Formal/informal style? 
• Make a list of points (e.q. arguments)
• Plan your article (bullit points per paragraph)
  

Lay-out

1. Start off with a catchy/inviting title
2. Write your introduction p.1 (what is your general point?)
   Make sure that you try to get your readers interest
3. Write the body p.2&3 or (maybe 4) --> one issue/argument per paragraph
4. Write your conclusion p.4 (or p.5) --> summing up your text
   

Make sure to...

• Divide your article into pagraphs (regel overslaan tussen de alinea's)
  
• Use linking words
   (first, second, but, however, although)
• Stick to one or two tenses (do not shift from present-past-future too often etc)
• keep your punctuation and vocab in mind!
