Things to bear in mind:
- Engage the reader.
- Have a personal angle.
- Think of your audience (where will this be published?
This will determine whether the piece is formal, semi-formal, informal) → rubric - Think of your purpose (is it to persuade, compare, advise, suggest?)
- Organise your ideas clearly.
- Don't forget your title! Essential in articles.
