Headlines • When you are writing a headline you need to make sure that you are clear with your meaning…..not like these!

Tone of a newspaper article • A newspaper article should be informative and formal. Which of the following do you think is the most appropriate for a school newspaper? “The dinner ladies of Selby High School have planned strike action on Tuesday 14th February because they are unhappy with their pay” “So right the dinnerladies at school are gonna strike tomorrow cos they’re not happy with how much money they get”
Remember • Your newspaper is aimed at students aged 11-16 • It should be formal, but readable for all ages • It should be informative and interesting
