Key learning points for this week:

• Feature articles are 'lively' (this is a key word in the mark scheme) - we looked at what kinds of features constitute a 'lively' style 
• The structure of your article is really important - the title and subheading should give the reader your controlling idea: what you will be arguing in the rest of the article
• You should be able to write a summary sentence for each paragraph. Each of these sentences should help to create your overall argument when you put them together. 
• Think carefully about your audience - remember that the style of an article for The Guardian will be really different from the style of an article for The Daily Mail, or the BBC, or Elle magazine.
