Tips on Writing Feature Articles:
Bucks Community College - Hard News vs. Feature
US Air Force Public Affairs Center of Excellence Writing tips

Ways to start your feature article, from johnwatsonsite.com:

Narrative
The narrative lead tells a story.
Sometimes a short piece, often from the writer's own experience, will lead the reader into the article.
Though it is also descriptive, the narrative lead is more like a play with a scene, characters and dialogue.


Description
Descriptive leads often focus on what it feels like to be at an event by highlighting the sights, sounds, textures, tastes and smells that evoke clear images in the mind of the reader.

Direct Address
This is when the writer tries to engage the reader immediately. This can be done by asking questions or asking the reader to imagine something in particular. It is as though the writer is expecting some direct response from the reader.

Shocking Statement
This type of lead is also known as ' the teaser ' .
A shocking or striking statement is one that will produce a strong response in the reader. Often it will challenge some accepted belief, or simply be provocative. Statistics are often effective.
It involves the reader by building suspense before revealing the focus of the story.

Quotation
A relevant and effective quotation can introduce the reader to the theme of the article. The quote should compel the reader to go further into the story.

Question
Should be used only when the question relates directly to the Feature angle and compels the reader to seek the answers further in the story. Unfortunately, most question leads can be answered with another question.

Overview of Research Tools, Sources, & Pitfalls!

Exploring Research Tools & Sources:

• Google News, Google Scholar
• Reliable Databases vs. Internet Search
• Los Angeles Public Library
• Interviews
• BCCHS Library

Sample Websites:

1. AIDS Facts from University of Santa Anita (How can AIDS be prevented?)
2. Technologies of World War I (What technologies were used in warfare during WWI?)
3. Social Contract Theory (What is the "Social Contract Theory of Government"?)

Evaluating Websites (for credibility, validity, reliability, etc.)
http://lib.nmsu.edu/instruction/evalcrit.htm

• Authority
• Accuracy
• Objectivity
• Currency

Googling like a Rock Star

• Google Advanced Search
• Search in certain domains, such as .edu & .gov.
• Try including words you DON'T want included in your search.
• Google News
• Google Scholar (& Google Advanced Scholar!)
• Look for the pdf or html link on the left for documents that are available for free on the web.

Interviews
Don't limit your research to the printed word -- Talk to a real person!
Depending on your research topic, you could interview a doctor, a teacher, a student, a family member, a priest, a janitor, a waiter, a social worker, etc.  (You'll need to cite the information you get from the interview just as you cite a book, newspaper, or website.)

• History in Context: US (Gale)
• World Book Encyclopedia

(Try entering different search words, like the name of your technology, specific examples/models, specific battles in which you know it was used, "World War I" with the name of your technology, etc.)

Website Ideas:

FirstWorldWar.com  (Flamethrowers, machine guns, tanks, airplanes, poison gas)

• A professor's analysis of FirstWorldWar.com:  ("I would not allow my students to use the Feature Articles in a paper. But I will link to both sites from my class Web sites, and I will refer to both on a regular basis for my own teaching and research.")

EyeWitness to History Website (Eyewitness accounts -- gas, u-boat, trenches, tanks, etc.  You can get quotes from people who were actually there!)

Wikipedia...
- not an academic source, cannot be cited in college papers
- in high school, Wikipedia can somtimes be used for informal projects/assignments
- good to use as a starting point, for an overview of topic
- scroll down to bottom, and check the notes, references, and other links for other sources

Specific Ideas for where to look (databases and websites):

Medical Advancements:
Air University
Speech/Lecture on Sanitation & Hygiene from 1918
Look at second-to-last paragraph on this page

Machine Guns:
Encyclopedia Britannica (scroll down to submachine gun)
Another Encyclopedia Britannica article

Aircraft: 
Encyclopedia Britannica
for how airplanes were constructed/made:
NASA - Table of contents 
           - NASA - World War I   
             NASA - fighter planes
-Check out the model - CFS2 AB-Roland D.VIb
- acepilots.com

Tanks:
(reproduced from) "The People's Almanac" series of books
Encyclopedia Britannica - Tanks
history learning site

Poison Gas:
History Learning Site

Submarines:
Encyclopedia Britannica (don't forget to scroll down to the World War I section)
unrestricted submarine warfare


For the bigger picture (in case you're interested), a Library of Congress essay:  The Increasing Power of Destruction:  Military Technology in World War I

Would you trust a webpage written by high school students? (Brief info about tanks, gas, & flamethrowers.)
