Students will discover the style, pace and structure of feature articles and go on to devise, research and plan a short feature inspired by a current news story.

We will provide pre and post workshop resources including a feature or comment page template. Students will go on to complete their piece after the virtual session.

This session is designed for 16-18 year olds.

100% of teachers said the workshop has given me ideas and resources to complement my teaching.

Sessions will take place securely using Zoom. Due to limitations in virtual delivery, we are only able to connect with one classroom at a time and cannot connect with students’ personal devices. After the sessions students will need computer access to produce their article and complete their feature or comment page.

Please note we have limited availability and will give priority to state schools with above average free school meal rates.

Please ensure you provide full availability (days and times) for the class you wish to book for in the comment box to help us schedule bookings - without this we may be unable to offer a workshop to your organisation.

Brilliant workshop, very engaging content and great to get an insider perspective. An hour time slot contained a lot of really interesting and thought-provoking materials. Students were encouraged to share their responses and discussion took place on their points.
