Format of a School Magazine Article

• News about school clubs and societies, school trips both at home and abroad, exchange visits with language students, exam results and original contributions written by students of all ages.
• It is written by students for students – that is people of about the same age as you and with almost the same education, background, culture, ideas and outlook on life as you.
• It is like writing to a large number of friends all at once
• Personalise Replace ‘I’ with ‘We’
• Share any point you have common with the readers(attitude of parents,school work, friends ….
• Be interesting, remember that most of the readers are at school with you, they know the things you know- present information about a different, more interesting angle.
• School magazine articles can be divided into the following different sections:
• TITLE
• Always give the article a title and underline it Make it interesting, from the beginning show the examiner that you know exactly what you are doing. Try to think of an effective, interesting title.Choose something opposite/contrast to the article.
• An effective introduction starts with a question to involve the readers and encourages them to continue reading. Example: Are you one of the many students with exam nerves?
• Paragraphs should be nicely linked through transition words The points should be properly structured in your article like you do in essay writing.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        from,HHHM
