Project#2 Newspaper Article



Features Analysis   
                                                                                 1.One of the best features of my newspaper article is the pictures. The pictures of the animals explain what the students and teachers became,and there is also a picture of Ipeka International Christian School to show my audience the setting. Visuals like these help the reader understand what really happened in an accurate way.

               2.Another feature of my article is the headline. The title has been cut short to only a few words, and the font is easy to read, since it is large and thick. The headline has a fun font, and because it is red, it is very eye-catching. The title explains what the main idea is about so that the reader will understand at least the topic before reading.

               3.The third feature about my newspaper article I would like to explain is the format of the sentences. The story is put into full sentences, which is then placed into paragraphs. The text contains many details about the scene as well as a few quotes to aid the audience in getting a better picture of the story. It explains the characters and settings in detail, an it ends with a solution.

               4.The last feature of my article is the date and the subtitle. The date shows when I wrote this article, and the subtitle lets the reader know who wrote it.

Project#1 - Adventure Ad

                   1. I created this advertisement to persuade my audience to join OceanLife Tours. This advertisement also informs the reader about the activities they will be doing if they decide to join in. It also explains other details such as the price, contact numbers, activities, and rooms.
                  2.One of the things I like about my advertisement are the colors. There are colors such as blue, green, and yellow. These colors create a calm, tropical mood. The mood of my advertisement is a very important part in catching the reader's attention.

                   3. I also like my word choice because they help persuade the reader to join, because the dull, boring words and substituted with more interesting, fun, words. For example, there are words such as “marine” instead of “sea”, “dazzling” instead of “colorful”, “lovely” instead of “good” or “nice”, and “glide” instead of “swim.”
