Feature article writing 1TH

Parts of a feature article:

I. Lead sentence
Grab and hook your reader right away!

II. Introduction
What facts and figures do you have that will be relevant to the audience?
You have to tell your readers where and when this story is happening.

III. Opening quotation 
How can the reader know more about the people involved and what they are thinking?

IV. Main body
What is at the heart of your story?

V. Closing quotation
Find something that sums the article up in a few words.


VI. Conclusion (optional—the closing quote may do the job)
What is a memorable way to end your story? The end quote is a good way to sum things up. That doesn’t always work. If you are quoting more than one person with different points of view in your story, you cannot end with a quote from just one of them. Giving one of your interviewees the last word can tilt the story in their favor.


Sample feature articles:
Kids can make a difference

Are they:
First Person narrative?
