Article Writing

1. Article Writing

2. 1. Article Writing
Let’s Do this

3. Aspects to include in your article
✔ Every article you will ever read in a magazine has a title
related to the topic. It is short, catchy and may even be
clever. Spend a moment to think about and write a title.
✔ You should use a rhetorical question at least once in the
article. Why is that, I hear you cry? Because questions
make people think about what you are writing and the
reader will feel you are trying to talk to them.

4. Aspects to include in your Article
✔ You should use words which include the reader: ‘we’,
‘us’ ‘our’ etc. ‘Is this what we want for our school?’
for instance – which combines the rhetorical
question and includes the inclusive pronouns.
✔ You could ‘paint a picture’ – to illustrate a point. ‘Let’s
say we don’t recycle and the rubbish keeps on piling
higher and higher…’

5. Thinking of arguments…
✔ You need to think of four (or so) logical
arguments to support your point. Possibly you need
to think of four counter arguments that the other
side would say is important. Some example topics:
○ Are mobile phones always a good thing?
○ Why daily PE should be essential for everyone
○ Space exploration – is it a waste of money?
○ Is smoking in any way a good thing?
Pick one of the above and write down four reasons
for, four reasons against.

6. Thinking of arguments
Daily PE - Good Daily PE - Bad
This will increase a person’s level of fitness
and make them healthier
It will make them more competitive and
want to win
It will make them work in a team and
create lifelong friends
It will make them feel more confident about
their appearance
What are the negative points?

7. So you have your arguments….
✔ Use some connectives – firstly, secondly,
moreover, however, on the other side, in
conclusion, in my opinion…
✔ As for the conclusion, leave the reader
impressed with your way of thinking and leave it
on an interesting note.
✔ You only have 200 words. Use them wisely!
