Feature
Article Requirements:
A feature article is a
descriptive article that describes the facts, issues, or topics. It is without
opinion and written for publication in a newspaper or magazine. A feature or
informative article is written to inform the audience of issues strictly from
an objective stand point (no opinion). While being an unbiased article, news
articles explain both sides/ perspectives of an issue or topic.
Guidelines:
- informs the reader of a news story, topic or
event
- presents an unbiased view on a topic or issue
- presents both sides of an issue: for example, a
feature article on child labor would show both the uses and misuses of it
- starts with a catchy lead in statement to get
the attention of the audience
- uses quotes within the body paragraphs to add
credibility
- uses newspaper techniques such as who, what,
when, where, why
- includes a catchy headline, along with a date
and name of the author
How
should I organize my article?
1. Your introduction should include a catch opening sentence or lead statement,
the issue at hand, and closing statement about the purpose of the article.
Purpose:
- to grab the attention of the reader
- to briefly describe the issue at hand, and
provide a preview of what will come next in the body paragraphs
2. The body paragraph
of your essay should focus on the content (what your topic is about and role of
your topic/individual within the Progressive Era) what importance is your
person or event in the Progressive era.
Methods:
- provide factual supporting evidence for each
statement made
- present both sides of the issue/ person (both
perspectives)
- answer 5 W's - who, what where, when, why
- use quotes if possible to add credibility to
your article
- use descriptive language to hold the attention
of your audience, but be very careful not to add any opinion
3. The concluding
paragraph should summarize the importance of the topic and hint on future
ramifications; direction of the topic. It clinches the purpose of the article
and gives the readers something to think about.
Purpose:
- summarize concisely the essential points of the
article
- entice the reader to read future articles by
adding a brief statement about the future ramifications/ circumstances
surrounding the topic
