Newspaper Article Summary Questions templates

What is the format of a newspaper article?

With that in mind, you don't construct paragraphs like you usually do for essays or English essays. You don't have to have a topic sentence, it's the opening sentence of a paragraph that says what the paragraph is about, or a closing sentence that ends the paragraph. Adding these will make your paragraphs too long.

Last but not least, once you have finished structuring your article, go back and read it again to revise and refine it. The first draft provides a lot of room for improvisation. Read it from the reader's perspective. See if it's informative, engaging and communicates its intent.

Determine the structure or format of the article. This should contain a title (the name of the written work), a short paragraph to fit in the columns, and a byline (the last line that identifies the author of the work). Remember, you don't need a topic sentence, the opening sentence of the paragraph that explains what the paragraph is about, or the closing sentence that ends the paragraph.
