Shown below are some notes that where made on peoples articles:
- Very formal maybe to formal for the readers?
- Need to have more examples!
- MUST link to exam (That is the idea for the WHOLE paper!)
- Spelling and Grammar is an issue and needs amending
- Wording and structure of the articles need re-thinking / doing
- Where are the sources from? (website / book / film / music etc)
- Needs MORE personalisation towards the audience / readers
- Too vague needs more explicit writting and information to help other students
- Need to keep to the target audience in mind (AT ALL TIMES )
- Add facts and figures so that peple can use them within their exams
- More quotes are needed within the articles!
Overall we have discussed a list of parts / pieces that need changing within the articles
Shown below is the list of things which need amending asap:
- Address the reader as a student of our age (16 - 20 )
- Ensure that they all link directly to the exam paper / questions
- Include images / diagrams / etc (VISUALS)
- Refer to the exam criteria!
- Use the wording from the exam questions or even use the WHOLE question!
- Use facts and figures
- Suppy references to sources you have used
- Check and Change (spelling / gramma etc)
- Use footnots for referencing sources
- Make it personal to the reader and use a professional tone within your writting
- Anotate images used (EXPLAIN AND ILLUSTRATE)
- Target specific exam questions relating to your article (MIX & Match) be brief yet informative
- Infomation on its own is not enough (explain every detail and be explicit with your writting!)
