Creative Narrative Article Planning

Plan a satirical magazine article about a social group. Use the sports-day scenario where helpful. Treat the group with nuance: aim your humour at behaviours, trends or contradictions rather than personal characteristics.

Choose a subject and angle

1.Which social group would offer the clearest subject for a humorous article about habits and identity? Select one.
  • People who track every step and statistic at sports day
  • Students who make elaborate playlists for every activity
  • Fans who debate the correct way to eat a particular snack
  • A group of your own choosing
2.For the example group you selected, identify one recognisable habit and explain why it could interest magazine readers.
3.Which overall perspective best suits a parody of sports-day statistic trackers?
  • Celebrate their dedication without any comic tension
  • Gently exaggerate their serious approach to a playful event
  • Condemn everyone who enjoys recording results
  • Present the group as identical and one-dimensional
4.Choose two tones that could work together in this article.
  • Observational and playful
  • Admiring and solemn
  • Hostile and dismissive
  • Confused and instructional
5.Describe a plausible narrator for this article. State their relationship to the group and one feature of their voice.

Shape the article

6.Draft a concise, catchy headline for a parody about sports-day statistic trackers.
7.Write an opening sentence that introduces the group and establishes a humorous angle.
8.Plan three distinct points for the article: one about a typical habit, one about a contradiction or complication, and one about what the habit reveals.
9.Name an intended audience for the article and explain one reason it would appeal to them.

Use parody with purpose

10.Which technique makes an ordinary habit seem comically excessive?
  • Exaggeration
  • Understatement
  • Formal definition
  • Chronological summary
11.Choose one parody technique and write a specific example for the sports-day article.
12.Name one way to keep the parody respectful while still making its point.
13.State a cultural idea the article could invite readers to consider.
14.Suggest one visual or layout feature that would reinforce the article’s satirical angle.
Sketch a possible magazine layout or visual for your article.
15.Before drafting, identify one planning decision you have made and one part of the article you still need to develop.
