Article Plan - 3

Article Planning Sheet – ‘The Pen’-House’

Plan the language use of the primary code of your article in the box below.

Article target audience:

	Planning Comments
article genre (purpose, type)	Again, this article is an article that reviews pens and illustrates the universally unknown truth about how pens can affect our mentality. Therefore, my article is an informative summary/review. The purpose of this article is to prove to writers that by choosing to write with a pen that means something to us (be it because of sentimentality or price), we might find that our writing ability increases.
Narrative voice (1st, 2nd or 3rd person)	Like in  my first article, I shall be 1st, 2nd and 3rd person narration simply because I do not wish to limit myself to only writing about either myself, the reader, or another. This way, I may refer to whoever, whenever which would render my article more exciting as the reader will not simply be reading about a single person the entire time.
Register (informal/formal, colloquial, dialect, taboo words?)	By this point of writing, my article should be incredibly formal. The reason for this is because now I am trying to demonstrate the power of sophisticated, eloquent writing, for I am trying to convince my reader that pens could potentially further a writer’s power to write in this manner. The only way I can make formal writing appealing is by writing the article in such a manner. Thus, no contractions (elision including) will be found within the article, for I am looking to avoid informality completely. Even if I was using taboo words previously, I would definitely want to refrain from doing so now.
Stylistics (repetition, strong verbs, adjectives, alliteration, similes, metaphors, sentencing, rhythm)	I shall use anadiplosis to increase the significance of my table, to begin with. If I ‘big it-up’ (for lack of a better word), the reader is more likely to appreciate the table. I shall use discourse markers to indicate to the audience what I shall be moving onto next. This will create an article that is easy for my reader to navigate. In addition to this, and in order to further empower my sentences, I shall turn the hypotactic syntax to a higher level. While my article may not be as concise, advanced lexemes can make their way into the writing and my expression will be far more articulate than my first article.
Tone of address (hectoring, sarcastic, ‘matey’, ironic, etc)	The tone of address of this article will be serious. However, it shall not be deadly serious all of the way through; I shall at first use a slightly humorous tone of voice as I refer back to the older methods of scribing. While I am explaining the power of a pen and while I am essentially selling the pens in the table of the DPS to my reader, I must employ a far more serious tone of address so that my reader can fully understand the meaning behind the article, for I would not wish for my reader to disregard the points I am making about writing because of a consistently humorous tone of address.
Structure and pace (discourse structure, logical paragraphing, connectives, conclusion)	My discourse structure shall begin with an introduction into the power of pens and how powerful a pen can be if used properly and with the appropriate amount of appreciation. I shall also talk about how my readers’ friends will be envious of them which draws my readers into reading the rest of my article. My first paragraph shall be a description of the power of my first recommended pen. My next paragraph will be a description of pen two and three. Finally, my last paragraph shall be asking the reader to consider the use of a simple quill, for I shall be persuading them to think about the simplicity and elegance of a quill and how that can render a writer more confident about their writing; which shall be my conclusion to the article. I shall leave the reader with a salutation and a wish of good luck in selection.
