Newspaper Article Expectation Sheet Name___________________ Writing a newspaper article is very different than writing a narrative. In a newspaper article you start with the most important information. You want to grab your reader’s attention. HEADLINE A headline is the title of your article. It is an attention getting phrase at the top of the article. Usually it is in large bold letters. Sometimes journalists use a play on words or a Pun. The headline is usually read first but written last. After you write your article, go back and reread it. Find the overall theme and then come up with an eye-‐catching headline. BYLINE A byline is who wrote the article and for what newspaper company. It usually sits under the headline although it is sometimes in a box in the centre of the article. It is usually in a different font and smaller size. LEAD In your article, the first 25 words are called the lead. The purpose of the lead is to grab the reader’s attention. It needs to be short and dramatic. You want to answer WHO, WHAT, WHEN and WHERE in the lead. How and Why can be answered further down in the article. If you don’t grab their attention, they will probably put your newspaper down or skip onto something that does interest them. There are never any quotes in the lead. There are 5 different types of leads. Check the lead handout attached to this expectation sheet. OPINION It is important that you realize the difference between fact and opinion. Fact is what happened without any judgment added to the event. For example: During Advent, the students at Bertha Kennedy Catholic Community School raised over $5000 for the Lurana Shelter. Opinion is a judgment placed on the event. For example: During Advent, the generous students of our best Catholic school in St. Albert, raised over $5000 for the needy Lurana shelter. Newspaper articles never have the writer’s opinion in them. Look at the following sentences and see how they need to be changed to get the opinion out of them. It was the happiest day of her life! She told the interviewer “It was the happiest day
of her life”. It was a nice day. The temperature outside was 30 degrees Celsius. Brian was an excellent student. Brian had a 95% average in his classes.
If there is opinion in a newspaper article, it must be an opinion of someone being interviewed. If you have included the opinion of someone, you must cite the source (Tell who said it). For example: It was a terrible accident! Change that to: According to Officer Jones of the Morinville R.C.M.P., “It was the most terrible accident I’ve ever seen!” If you do not have the person’s name, you describe them as a bystander or a witness or an employee of the company. Describe why they would have been there. BIAS Bias is when you can tell which side of an issue the writer is on. For example if you are reading an article about the Prime Minister of Canada’s position on the environment and the article states words such as “crazy” or “ludicrous”, obviously the writer is not in favor of the Prime Minister’s position. There should be no bias in a newspaper article. A good article will present both sides of an issue without making judgment. INSERTIONS Insertions are an excellent way to tell the reader more information about the person being interviewed. An insertion is surrounded by commas and is placed in a sentence directly following introducing a new person into the article. Mr. Krahn, a junior high school teacher, said it was not a good idea. The insertion is a junior high school teacher. QUOTATIONS Quotations are an excellent way to add interest to your article. If you interview a witness to an accident they can add description and emotion to the article. An expert can add detail you might not have known. VOCABULARY The words that you choose for your newspaper article need to be: focused, precise and to the point. Do not use the same flowery descriptive language as you would for a narrative. You want words that are loaded with meaning but don’t have opinion or bias attached to them. Remember to use formal language. The tone of the article must be formal and impersonal. Slang would not be acceptable. TENSE Newspaper articles are always written in past tense. Do not speculate about the future. The only exception is when you write about upcoming events.
How to write your article
Step 1: You will be writing a newspaper article about the church fire in Windrixville. Make up a fake newspaper name and a reporters name to put into the byline.
Step 2: Gather 5 w’s. Make sure your facts are correct. You can do this
by Rereading the section of the novel to remind you of details or to help you understand it
Step 3: Write your lead paragraph. Remember: WHO, WHAT, WHEN
and WHERE, in the first 25 words. Step 4: Your next paragraph will explain and amplify the details
around the fire. If you have a picture this is where to explain what it is. This is also where to place the quotations and interviews. Don’t forget the insertions. This is where you answer the WHY and HOW.
Step 5: Your next paragraph will be background information.
Information about Johnny’s murder charge and Pony’s upcoming court date can go in this section.

Creative Writing Writing for the Tabloids
Writing a Tabloid Article
Your teacher will provide you with an assortment of photographs taken from magazines or newspapers. Select a photograph that appeals to you.
Create a story based around the photograph. Remember that for the tabloids, no story is too strange.
Using the checklist provided, draft your article. The key to a successful tabloid article is the use of standard journalistic techniques combined with unbelievable details. Remember: your job is to make the impossible sound believable.
Most newspapers can be classified into two major groups: ‘broadsheets’ and ‘tabloids’. Broadsheets are literally printed on larger sheets of paper, and generally contain more serious articles. Tabloids are often smaller in size, and contain articles that often include imaginative details or interpretations. Although the evidence for many tabloid articles is scanty or non-existent, they are written in a convincing tone similar to that used in standard news articles. Tabloids have to be very careful when writing about real people, because they can be accused of ‘libel’, or writing harmful lies.
News Article Checklist Headline Byline Location Lead o State the date or time the incident happened/will happen. o State who or what is affected by the incident. o Write a description of the place where this event takes place. o Explain in short detail what happened. o Include any known causes for the event. o Briefly explain how the event happened/will happen. o List the names of any other people or events directly affected the incident. o After the drafting the lead, check to make sure you have answered the 5W-1H
questions. Supporting Paragraphs (Include any of the following information) o Quotes o Witness accounts o Supporting details o Description of the possible effects on the public
Photos (Optional) o If you wish to accompany your article with a photograph, compose a caption
that explains the relationship of the photograph to your article.

Finding Common Ground Name______________________ The Greasers and the Socs lived in two separate “worlds”, unlikely to ever see the need to live harmoniously together. No one was seen as an individual by the members of the opposing gang, just “lumped” into the category of Greaser or Soc and left there. Ponyboy, Johnny, Two-Bit, Cherry, Marcia and Randy were quite surprised to discover that members of rival groups could be individuals with hopes and fears, humor and pain. Suppose they had the opportunity and the desire to learn about each other sooner. Do you think the tragedies that filled The Outsiders could have been avoided? Perhaps, if the teachers at Ponyboy’s high school had grouped their students so that people who were different could see that they had similarities, tension between the gangs could have lessened. Mr. Krahn is going to hand out pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. These pieces will go together forming 4 different groups in the class. Find your group now by trying to put your piece together with other people. You will not know if your group is finished until everyone in the class has a group. This is your group to answer the following questions. In your group find out what kind of toothpaste everyone uses. List them here in order from the most used to the least used ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Find out what city everyone was born in. List them here in order from the most kids born there to the least kids born there. ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Find out the birth order of each member in the group. List the number of first born, middle kids and youngest here. ____________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ So far these questions have shown us what we may have in common with these people. Now answer these questions. What is the best place to go on vacation? Your group can only have one answer. Try to get people to agree with your answer.__________________________________________________ What is the best kind of pizza? Your group can only have one answer. Try to get people to agree with your answer.__________________________________________________ As you can tell, it is almost impossible to get everyone to 100% agree on everything. It is quite easy to find items that you can partially agree or to find common ground. Do you think that there will be peace between the Greasers and the Socs now that the rumble is over?________________________ If you were teachers in Ponyboy’s high school, what would you do to help make peace amongst the two groups?
