How to write an article

Writing an article

An article can

  • describe an experience, event, person or place
  • present and opinion or balanced argument
  • give information
  • offer suggestions and advice

When writing your article consider the following:

  • Who are the intended readers?
  • What is the aim of the article? (advise, suggest, inform, describe...)

Article format:

  • a distinct title to attract the reader’s attention
  • an introduction which clearly defines the topic
  • the main body (about 2-3 paragraphs)
  • the conclusion (summarise the topic or a final opinion)

In this Module you will have to submit an article in the Making progress section on Moodle. We have already seen a model and we will revise the steps to follow in the F2F class.
