1. Determine a local publication to which you will write your Opinion Article. This is likely to be your hometown daily newspaper; however, you may also have a local alternative newspaper that you could use as your target publication. Either choice would be viable for this assignment. While you are encouraged to submit your opinion article to the publication, this is not a requirement. For this assignment, simply prepare your article as if you are writing to a very direct audience: the editor and readers of a local publication. So your instructor knows your target audience, begin your article with the heading “Written toward [insert name of news publication here]:”
2. Determine the style, tone, level of formality, etc. that is typical for that publication. Do this by reviewing and reading articles from the publication with particular attention to the Opinion/Editorial or Letter to the Editor sections.
3. Analyze the target audience for the publication, and consider how their needs dictate the writing choices you will make. This means you need to consider the backgrounds, beliefs, values, etc. of the people who are in your town or community. Think of ways you can make connections with them in your writing.
4. Write an Opinion Article of between 700 – 1000 words using the same topic you’ve been researching all quarter.
5. Use APA format – it is likely that the publication you choose will not use APA format; however, since learning APA is a key component of this class, we will continue to use it here. If you do decide to submit for publication, be sure to consult publication guidelines and use the reference style specified.
Important steps to follow.
The goal here is to explain who your readers are by showing what qualities or traits they hold. What makes them unique? You do mention that your audience is students and teachers, but what is your publication? Who reads it? What makes those readers a great target audience for your research and opinion? Maybe you need to be writing to a journal that is read by teachers of ESL/ELL.
What do my readers know about the topic? What are their current beliefs about the topic? What will they want to know? What is their purpose in reading my article? How can I build their understanding of my topic in a compelling way? (Think about writing strategies, use of support, etc.) What might my readers be skeptical about? How will I handle this skepticism? What choices can I make in terms of style, tone, and word choice to connect with my readers?
