Writing Composition
Report the events for the Chatsmore Evening News.
Plan the article carefully, giving consideration to the points arising in discussion. Include illustrations where and if appropriate.
Consider who might be interviewed for the article. Take quotes from the script as appropriate or 'invent' what people might have said to journalists.
Use plenary time to evaluate and share each other's articles.
As an extension, use a women's magazine article approach. Imagine the journalist has gone to either Wayne or Sharon's home, and tells the story from their point of view. Consider the sequence of the article and the kind of quotes which will be used. Use word and sentence level time to investigate other articles before planning to write further examples.
