Period 5: Writing Step one
How to read News articles
1.What is a News Article?
2.What are the elements of a News Article?
3.How to read a News Article. Writing
You are going to write an article for a
newspaper about a special event that
happened in your hometown. Before you
write a newspaper story, you should write
an outline. An outline will prepare you to
write a better story. It helps you to. 1. Choose a topic
2.Decide what you want to say about the topic
3.Organize your ideas and write clearly. A newspaper outline should have:
1.a headline
2.A list of main ideas
3.a list of important details Attention!
When you write a newspaper story you
want the readers to notice it. So you give
the reader a headline which is an
interesting title that tells the reader what
your topic is. Then you organize your
ideas into paragraphs. Each para has a different main idea or purpose. Next put some details into each para. These details help the reader to better understand the main idea. One other thing to remember: a newspaper story gives the most important first and the least important news last.
A newspaper story needs a headline to
attract the reader’s attention since the
reader may not have bought the
newspaper before they read the headline. Newspaper stories and short stories are organized very differently.
Usually a short story begins with small details and includes details later.
A newspaper does the opposite.
Both kinds of stories use para with the main idea.
Point of view
In a good newspaper story it is objective.
In a short story it is subjective.
Ex.
P31 1
Read the example of a newspaper story
and find the headline, main ideas and
details of each paragraph.假如你是一名记者,20多年前7月28日凌晨3点钟, 当你由于写稿子在熬夜,经历了那场唐山

I was about to sleep when there was a terrible earthquake. At first I heard a strange noise. It sounded like a train going under the house. Then I realized it was an earthquake. I was trying to wake up my families when I felt the floor move. I saw glasses on the table fall off onto the floor. I felt like being on a boat and I couldn’t stand firm. It lasted about 10 minutes or so. Luckily, the government came to our rescue immediately. Because of the earthquake, a great number of people lost their lives. I was a lucky one. The moment the earthquake ended, the people in Tangshan were determined to rebuild their hometown. Now Tangshan takes on a new look. Check the answers on Page 32
