#Hilary Stichbury

Written by Mila Srzich

Room 18, 19 and 20 have been very spoilt to have Mrs Stichbury (Seb’s mother) come to talk to us about her writing career. She writes feature articles in the newspaper and she came last Wednesday and spoke about her amazing writing and how we, as students, can become better writers.  

To write a feature article Hilary used an acronym to help us remember what we need, you need a L which stands for the Lead. The lead is supposed to grab people's interest and describe the most amazing thing about your story.

Then there is the N that stands for the nut Graf  that the story is about and the 5 Ws that are: who what when where and why.

Then the M that's means the main body which is  to have more detail and the climax.

Plus the E that stands for the ending. Maybe a last snappy sentence or return to subject or first sentence. You could use a quote.

We enjoyed having her here.

Thank you Hilary Stichbury!!!!
