Writing Tips

Hi Dearies!

I have read some of your reflections on the Advertisement lessons. Some good ones can be found here and here. The rest were pretty short and lacking in details, though.

So I thought I should remind you of the things that you should include when writing about an event, whether it is a journal entry, composition piece or a reflection. It is called the 4Wives and 1Husband (teeheehee), that is, the 4W and 1H. The diagram below shows what I mean.



Therefore, in your advertisement reflection, you could have included some of these details:


WHAT: A lesson on newspaper advertisement
WHERE: In class

WHEN: 3C English lesson with Ms Sri

WHY: To learn more about the ways advertisements persuade us.
HOW: We watched a TV advertisement about Nike first to learn about how Nike tries to persuade us. Then, we looked at a few newspaper advertisements to identify the main parts of a print advertisement (Product, image, tagline). We then tried to create our own advertisements with the products Ms Sri gave us.

You can also include a 'WHO".

There you go!!
