In order to inform others about your topic, you can try playing the role of a reporter and write an article for a newspaper. In EDC/HRE, writing an article is also a way of making topics public. This can help to change things that are bad in society.
A newspaper article is divided into different sections:
– Headline: should be short and clear.
– Lead paragraph: an introduction to the topic in very few and rather short sentences.
– Authors: who wrote the article?
– Running text: the article itself.
– Headings: to help the reader to see “chapters”.
– Picture: a meaningful picture relevant to the text with a short explanation underneath.
Checklist:
- Compare a newspaper article from today’s newspaper with the example you see above. Can you find the different sections?
- Highlight the sections using different colours.
- Pay attention to the font styles (bold, normal, italics).
- Compare your newspaper article with those of your classmates.
- Use these sections in your own newspaper article.
