Process - Feature Writer

• As the feature writer, you will write an article on one of the topics that your group selected. Read a sample of a feature article from Brio.

• Use the resource links to find information on your topic. Take written notes on the websites that you visit. You will want to look at sites that provide information about the topic, sites that provide advice, and sites that offer advice from the Bible. Use the Bible links to look up scripture verses that you will use in your article. You may use any version of the Bible.

• Compose your article in Microsoft word.

• Your article should include:
• a title
• an introduction to the topic
• a detailed explanation of the issue or problem
• a biblical response to the problem/issue
• practical suggestions for girls that have this problem and for their teachers/parents/ friends.
• a conclusion that summarizes the article.

• Your article will be evaluated based on the 7 traits of writing.

• Consult with your editor for help in research, writing, or editing if needed. Each day at the group huddle, inform the other group members and the editor of your progress.

• Work with your editor to set dead lines for research, rough drafts and final drafts.

• If desired, you may consult with the feature article writers in the other groups.

• Your article should contain evidence that you understand the problem or issue, Biblical references and practical advice for dealing with the problem. Your tone should be kind, sympathetic, and friendly. 

• Look for clip art to enhance, not over power your article. When your article is ready for publishing, paste it into Microsoft Publisher.
