Holly - I spend the double lesson catching up with our blog. Through focusing on the ancillary tasks we fell behind with updating our blog, but as the first ancillary task has been handed in, (not fully completed yet, as we want to re - edit the layout and content of the articles and pictures before the final hand in of the completed project) we felt we really needed to catch up with the blog before we forgot what tasks we completed on which days.
Charlotte - I spent the lesson researching into newspaper layouts in preparation for when we put the material we already have all together in the form of our 'finished article'.
(Pictures of local and global newspapers and inside pages.)
In order to be prepared for our actual project - the newspaper, we needed to think about a target audience, as this was something we hadn't taken into consideration. We didn't want to make the newspaper aimed at youths, as it isn't typical for a large majority of that particular audience to be interested/read the local newspaper. So we decided to aim our newspaper for young adults, around aged 18 and over as the features in our newspaper will attract this age group.
We had to think about what sort of articles we were going to include in our newspaper. Headlines are what draws us into reading a certain article - they have to attract their audience. Their key function is to convey the 'gist' of a story in a few words. If the headline is strong, the this will not only attract the reader, but will also more importantly make them want to purchase it.
