Creative Writing Prep

Hi all,

This week you will be planning and writing an article which outlines the 3 D Gender theories and summarises the documentary we watched in class today. Click here to re-watch the documentary.

Also, as you need to be engaged with both sides of the debate, here is an interesting atricle in New Scientist which disputes the documentary.

You need to choose which publication you intend to write your article for, and research where on their website or in their publication the article would be found. For example, in the Guardian you'd r likely to find an article with subject matter like this in the Lifestyle, Comment is Free or the Science pages.

Next you need to research the publication and GRAMPS one of their articles to decided what kind of language you need to use to appeal to their target audience, for example if you're writing for Vice, their target audience is around 21-35 year olds and they have a very interesting use of language, so you will need to mimic that.

Please make sure you know what publication you want to write for by the time you come to class on Wednesday, as you will spend some of that lesson actually beginning to write the article.

Additionally, I need you to hand in your homework on Wednesday.
