article genre (purpose, type)	The purpose of this article is to inform the reader of 7 unusual ways they can make a little bit of extra money, most of the ways revolve around using a computer so this article falls under the technology genre.
Narrative voice (1st, 2nd or 3rd person)	This article will be written in 2nd person in order to be more direct to the reader. This will also establish a better and more personal connection with them.
Register (informal/formal, colloquial, dialect, taboo words?)	I intend to write this article in a very informal and colloquial way so that my reader feels comfortable reading it and are able to relate to it. I will not use too many taboo words because I don’t think the Northern Echo or my secondary audience will find it appropriate.
Stylistics (repetition, strong verbs, adjectives, alliteration, similes, metaphors, sentencing, rhythm)	I intend to use strong verbs and adjectives to spice up my text and keeps what I am saying interesting. Sentences will be quite complex so that I am able to get across all the information I want, I also don’t want my teenage audience to feel like they’re being talked to like they’re dumb children.
Tone of address (hectoring, sarcastic, ‘matey’, ironic, etc)	I will use quite a sarcastic tone because I think that is what my audience will relate to the most, and they will hopefully also find it quite humorous, which should keep them interested.
Structure and pace (discourse structure, logical paragraphing, connectives, conclusion)	Although sentences will be reasonable complex my actual paragraphs will be quite short just to make sure my audience don’t lose interest, or are put off by the large chunks of text. This will cause my article to be written at a medium pace. This is a top 10 style article so I do not intend on writing a conclusion. The different paragraphs will be connected via a number.

Register (informal/formal, colloquial, dialect, taboo words?)	This article will be written in quite a formal way because it allows me to be more informative, and I think that is particularly important for an advice/ how to article, however I will still try to throw in a little humour where I can just to keep the reader interested.
Stylistics (repetition, strong verbs, adjectives, alliteration, similes, metaphors, sentencing, rhythm)	I intend to use repetition in this article because I will basically rephrase what I said in the kicker, in the conclusion, this will give the article shape.
Tone of address (hectoring, sarcastic, ‘matey’, ironic, etc)	I will use a relatively serious tone within this article so that the reader knows that the intention is to actually give you proper advice.
Structure and pace (discourse structure, logical paragraphing, connectives, conclusion)	Although sentences will be reasonable complex my actual paragraphs will be quite short just to make sure my audience don’t lose interest, or are put off by the large chunks of text. Once again, this article will have medium reading pace.

article genre (purpose, type)	The purpose of this article is to basically create discussion and offer different opinions revolving around internet piracy. I intend to offer both sides of the argument from different opinions.
Narrative voice (1st, 2nd or 3rd person)	This article will be written in 2nd person in order to be more direct to the reader. This will also establish a better and more personal connection with them.
Register (informal/formal, colloquial, dialect, taboo words?)	My kicker will be written in a very chatty, colloquial and informal way to arrest the reader’s flickability. However the rest of the article will be very factual based and just quoting other people’s opinions as well as offering statistics.
Stylistics (repetition, strong verbs, adjectives, alliteration, similes, metaphors, sentencing, rhythm)	I intend to use very short sentences in this article so that I am able to output a lot of information and statistics without making the article too long and boring. I will be very literal in this article rather than use metaphors, similes etc.
Tone of address (hectoring, sarcastic, ‘matey’, ironic, etc)	Other than in the kicker, this article will have a very serious tone to get the message across that online piracy is a very serious thing.
Structure and pace (discourse structure, logical paragraphing, connectives, conclusion)	This will not be one long continuous article, rather a collection of break out boxes that offer unlinked facts, statistics and opinions. The objective of this article is just to get the reader to think and conclude for themselves whether or not they think piracy is bad.
