Write a Structuring a Feature Article
Structuring a feature article
Concept: race, ambition, good vs. evil, moral complexity, growing up/coming of age or bravery and courage.
Angle of the article: - You do not need to announce your thesis in an obvious way from the start in the same way that a rigid, academic piece would but you do need to at least allude to your point.
Headline (needs to be catchy; can be posed as a question): From classic texts to contemporary literature, our morals are questioned; what sentient do characters like Scout and Charlie teach us about our own identity?
Lead - Contains basic premise of article; make reference to your texts
Byline-Name, date,
Para 1 - - Intro. General statement about concept or can be a recall of something personal/autobiographical; it must then allude or introduce your premise/concept being explored of your feature article; introduce both of the texts. This is to show how this idea is relevant to society or of interest.
Para 2 - Continue to describe the premise and how the principal text though the use of cultural assumptions, values and/or beliefs of the time -- explores the concept
Para 3 - Same as para 2. Perhaps a comparison to the second text might be useful at the end to link to the next paragraph
Para 4 - Introduce the second text and how the cultural assumptions, attitudes, values and beliefs shape the concept
Para 5 - Explore how the texts have constructed the concept (refer to the use of aesthetic features or stylistic devices). Focus on one text - use direct quotes (in-text referencing required) to demonstrate how the device constructs the concept.
Para 6 - Analyse how the second text represents concept (refer to the use of aesthetic features or stylistic devices). Use direct quotes (in-text referencing required). Link back to the angle of the article to prove your opinion.
Para 7 - Explore how the texts have portrayed the concept and what CAVABs influenced the decisions; what SD or AF demonstrated this. Discuss how one text does this. Use direct quotes (in-text referencing required) to demonstrate how the device constructs the concept.
Para 8 - Analyse how the second text uses the AF or SD to construct the concept. Use direct quotes (in-text referencing required). Link back to the angle of the article to prove your opinion.
Para 9 - Explore how the texts have portrayed the concept and what CAVABs influenced the decisions; what SD or AF demonstrated this. Discuss how one text does this. Use direct quotes (in-text referencing required) to demonstrate how the device constructs the concept.
Para 10 - Analyse how the second text uses the AF or SD to construct the concept. Use direct quotes (in-text referencing required). Link back to the angle of the article to prove your opinion.
Para 11 - Use a greater analysis of your text/s - deduce meaning from those texts where they explore your concept
Para 12 - Evaluate what the concept/angle being explored means for the characters and their lives?
Para 13 - Conclude by arguing what this concept can mean in life in general, and see the texts in a deeper way - your life, other lives. Call to action

Para 11 Discuss the similarities of how both texts demonstrated the concept. Use a greater analysis of your text/s - deduce meaning from those texts where they explore your concept
Para 12 - Evaluate what the concept/angle being explored means for the characters and their lives?
Para 13 - Conclude by arguing what this concept can mean in life in general, and see the texts in a deeper way - your life, other lives.
