Organization • How is a news article different than a traditional essay? • Shorter paragraphs, more of them. • Most paragraphs start with a quote • Detail used only where needed. • Some emotion, but mostly facts. It’s more about what others think, not about the author. • Casual academic voice– no you’s, etc. • Unique phrases to catch audience’s attention.

  6. Organization • Shorter, choppier articles • Often alternates between interview responses and facts • Start with the who/what/when/where • Spend the rest of the article exploring the why and the how • Start with a hook, end with a clincher.

  7. Take out a piece of paper… • 1. Cut or tear it into small pieces. • 2. Write a topic/ idea about your event or location that you could include in your essay. • 3. Arrange them in the order you want to cover these ideas in your essay. • 4. Write down your arrangement and turn this into your outline.

  8. Outlining • Use it to simply establish the order you want to cover information in your article.

  9. How to use outside information • Any time an idea you are using is not your own, you must quote or paraphrase it and cite it. • This includes interview responses, and information from books, brochures, magazines, newspapers, and websites.
