Article Writing Cheat Sheet

Article Writing Cheat Sheet

TITLE of ARTICLE

If you want to learn about MAIN SUBJECT, then you'll want to
read this article. Specifically we'll discuss MAIN POINT 1,
MAIN POINT 2 and MAIN POINT 3. After reading this article,
you should be able to INSERT MAJOR BENEFIT HERE.

MAIN POINT 1 is introduced in the first sentence of the article.
Then, use this second sentence to describe something more
specific about MAIN POINT 1. Show how SUBPOINT 1 relates
to the main point. Support it with SUBPOINT 2. If you have
something left you want to include, do so with SUBPOINT 3.
Then SUM up the points and/or transition to MAIN POINT 2.

Follow the above for the next two main points.

Now for the CONCLUSION PARAGRAPH, make a general
statement about the information above for your first sentence.
Then, mention again the three main points you discussed above.
Now tell your reader what they can do with the information
you've provided.

On the next page is a sample article that follow this same template.
