1. What is a News Article
2. What are the elements of a News Article
3. How to read a News Article.
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.
1. a headline
2. A list of main ideas
3. a list of important details
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.
In a good newspaper story it is objective.
In a short story it is subjective.
Now prepare the outline for a short newspaper story for China Daily, Use the example to help you organize your outline.(共14张PPT)
