HEADLINE (TITLE) THE HEADLINE IS A TITLE OF YOUR MAGAZINE ARTICLE. THE GENERAL TOPIC NEEDS TO BE OBVIOUS FROM READING THE HEADLINE. PLAY WITH THE USE OF WORDS USE ALLITERATION USE REPETITION CREATIVELY MAKE IT RHYME USE POP CULTURE AS A REFERENCE

SECONDARY HEADLINE CONTROLLING IDEA: MAIN TOPIC + ANGLE BE SURE TO INCLUDE A TOPIC + PRESCRIBED ANGLE IN THAT ONE SENTENCE. THIS SENTENCE IS YOUR SECONDARY HEADLINE. IT PROVIDES THE READER A CLEAR IDEA AS TO WHAT TOPIC YOU WILL BE EXPLORING AND FROM WHAT ASPECT / PERSPECTIVE.

LEAD (HOOK) THE LEAD IS A CATCHY PARAGRAPH THAT IS SUPPOSED TO CONNECT AND HOOK THE READER TO THE MAIN TOPIC AND ISSUES AT HAND. IT CAN BE DONE IN THREE WAYS: 1) VIVID DESCRIPTION (DESCRIPTIVE VOCABULARY, METAPHORS, ONOMATOOPEIA) 2) STRONG/SURPRISING STATEMENT 3) POWERFUL ANECDOTE (3 RD PERSON, DISCUSSES A CHARACTER`S SITUATION IN RELATION TO THE TOPIC)

She misses her exit and crashes into a tree. Happy Birthday Tracy… Is the topic clear? Is the angle clear? Is it shocking? Poor Tracy
