Writing your articles

F

Newspaper articles should:

- include facts

- have a short, snappy and informative headline (title)

– name of the reporter

– place of event

- provide a summary at the start explaining what happened (but not giving everything away!)

- use of paragraphs to help the reader clearly understand the information

Creating a great headline

• one sentence inviting the reader to read
• in this sentence the reader immediately knows what the article is about, so be creative and concrete

always include:

- Who, what, where, when (and, maybe: why, and how)

- Make the story interesting

- Use clean, crisp English. News writing should be short and to the point. News stories deliver the facts quickly

- Add pictures

- Be accurate

- Spell Check, and punctuation!

Presenting the news

0 Introducing yourselves as the news reader, weather (wo)man, the interviewer, the person that is being interviewed and the bringer of extremely happy news

0 Now, bring the news that was in your newspaper as if you are actually presenting the news

0 You can add a background or sound effects

0 The two of you will present the news in a 3 minute video and hand it in (Flipgrid)
