  1. RBMA REVIEWresearchbased magazine articleTerm 2 practice activity D. RANALLI 2014

  2. HEADLINE (TITLE) THE HEADLINE IS A TITLE OF YOUR MAGAZINE ARTICLE. • PLAY WITH THE USE OF WORDS • USE ALLITERATION • USE REPETITION CREATIVELY • MAKE IT RHYME

  3. SECONDARY HEADLINE CONTROLLING IDEA: MAIN TOPIC + ANGLEBE SURE TO INCLUDE A TOPIC + PRESCRIBED ANGLE IN THAT ONE SENTENCE. THIS SENTENCE IS YOUR SECONDARY HEADLINE. IT PROVIDES THE READER A CLEAR IDEA AS TO WHAT TOPIC YOU WILL BE EXPLORING AND FROM WHAT ASPECT / PERSPECTIVE.

  4. LEAD (HOOK) THE LEAD IS A CATCHY PARAGRAPH THAT IS SUPPOSED TO CONNECT AND HOOK THE READER TO THE MAIN TOPIC AND ISSUES AT HAND. IT CAN BE DONE IN THREE WAYS:1) VIVID DESCRIPTION (METAPHORS, ONOMATOOPEIA)2) STRONG/SURPRISING STATEMENT3) ANECDOTE (3RD PERSON, DISCUSSES A CHARACTER`S SITUATION IN RELATION TO THE TOPIC)

  5. BODY #1 AND BODY #2 Develop the author`s controlling idea that expands the main topic of the article into subtopics (splitting your ideas). Important things to include: • Subheadings. • Facts and statistics which support the writer's opinion. • Personal viewpoints of people interviewed. • Opinions from authorities and experts. • Quotes and interviews. • Anecdotes and stories. • Specific names, places and dates. • Photographs, tables, diagrams and graphs.

  6. CLOSE LAST PARAGRAPH THAT CLOSES YOUR ARTICLE AND SUGGESTS AN APPROPRIATE OBJECTIVE OR ACTION PLAN. • SIMILAR TO RE-HOOK • Use a "circle ending." This technique utilizes an idea or a phrase from the lead, bringing the reader around to complete the circle. Suggesting an appropriate course of action. Encouraging a change of attitude or opinion. Now that you wrote all about this topic through this angle, what is society or YOUR next move ?

  8. ELEMENTS TO INTEGRATE • PULL QUOTE: EMPHASIZING SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN BY COPYING THE TEXT BUT ENLARGING THE FONT OR BOLDING IT. • SIDE BAR: A SMALL RECTANGLE THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED A SURPRISING, DID YOU KNOW FACT?, • ILLUSTRATION: INTEGRATING A PICTURE WITH A SMALL CAPTION EXPLAING THE PHOTO.

  9. REMEMBER !!! • IT NEEDS TO BE INFORMATIVE • IT NEEDS TO BE INFORMAL • IT NEEDS TO INCORPORATE QUOTATIONS FROM THE PREP BOOKLET AS WELL AS INFORMATION TAKEN FROM THE VIDEO SHOWN IN CLASS. • IT NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE A MAGAZINE ARTICLE
