Assignment: Feature Article Writing Workshop
Your Project assignment is to rewrite a paper you have written for a previous writing class as a feature article. You cannot simply turn in something you have already written! You need to rewrite it as a feature article, using the very specific features and best practices of this new genre. We will be using this worksheet to help you restructure and rewrite your old material for this assignment.
Intro/Hook/Lede
The introduction/hook/lede of a feature article is about one to three paragraphs long. The lede is usually an anecdote that illustrates the main point of the story. Write your 3-paragraph lede or paste possible material that you will be rewriting as your lede-the material should be narrative in nature-you must be telling a story.
Nut Grafe
The nut graf is a paragraph that explains what the whole article is about. Write your nut graft or paste possible material that you will be rewriting as your nut grafe.
Body Paragraphs
The body paragraphs of a feature article present different aspects of the main story, making points using anecdotes, quotes, and statistics/data. Sort the material of your paper's body below, according to whether it is an anecdote (the continuation of the story in your hook/intro/lede), facts/statistics/data you are presenting, or quotes (something someone says or that source says to back up and illustrate your points).
Data/Facts/Statistics:
Quotes (something someone says or that source says to back up and illustrate your points):
Anecdotes (the continuation of the story in your hook/intro/lede):
Conclusion
The conclusion is a paragraph that ends the feature article in a memorable way with a really good quote or an ending scene. Write your conclusion or paste possible material that you will be rewriting as your conclusion.
