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.
