Feature Articles Year 11 English
A definition • While there is no specific definition to be found in a dictionary or listing of journalistic terms, a feature article can be defined, funnily enough, by its features: • Feature articles can be written at any time or at a specific time of the year because they are not dependent on Actual events. In other words they are not front page news stories. • Authors who write feature articles write about topics they are familiar with or topics that grab their interest. • They are written with factual information that can be researched. • Feature articles can be written about any topic.
Structure Just like an essay you will need to use: An intro. Entice your reader, hook them in by using drama, emotion, quotations, questions or descriptions. A body. Answer all questions raised and keep all promises made in the intro. Maintain the atmosphere created. A conclusion. Use a strong punchy ending to help reader remember the article.
Points to note • Be clear about why you are writing the article… persuade, inform, evaluate, emote or observe. • Write the article in the active voice. • Avoid cliches. • Decide on the tense at the beginning of the story and stick to it.
