Article Planning Sheet

Fake Fur Comes first

Article target audience: The target audience for this magazine is slightly more for the environment lover’s type. My magazine being called quirky clothing shows it is for people with a difference. It is for socioeconomics group c-b and still hits all the ages of my target audience.

	Planning Comments
article genre (purpose, type)	This article is a persuasive article to get the audience interested in a topic and to convince them to help a cause. The article will be there to persuade people to join the cause of fighting against the fur trade. The article will show them how they can get involved and why they should.
Narrative voice (1st, 2nd or 3rd person)	I would use second person in this article because it would make it address straight to the audience and it would seem more personal to them. When persuading them this could be important because I want them to feel like i am talking directly to them making it more effective for them to get involved.
Register (informal/formal, colloquial, dialect, taboo words?)	I would make this article very formal because I want the audience to take it seriously. I will use no taboo language because I want the audience to read this in a serious town and pay attention were as taboo language may throw them of course from the article as well.
Stylistics (repetition, strong verbs, adjectives, alliteration, similes, metaphors, sentencing, rhythm)	In this article I will use persuasive language because it has a lot to do with the type of article. I will also use some clever writing techniques such as repetition to keep the article nicely flowing. Also to keep the audience more interested. I think it would also give the article a more serious professional look.
Tone of address (hectoring, sarcastic, ‘matey’, ironic, etc)	This article is to inform, educate and persuade the audience so it will have a very serious almost instructive tone. I want no sarcasm and I would like my audience to feel the down beat of the article and feel some sympathy for it.
Structure and pace (discourse structure, logical paragraphing, connectives, conclusion)	I want my article to have a slower pace to it because it a slower more important read so I would like the audience to take their time with it. The article will be in straight paragraphing down the page so it is easy for the audience to follow and they won’t get confused which part to move on to next. This article will also have quite a lot of shocking imagery in it.
