 How to Write a Feature Article
 Feature Article Writing

You may be confused after reading all of the information about feature articles.  If you are, let me recap.  First, your article needs a headline.  Headlines should ALWAYS have an action verb in them.  For example, your headline my say BOWLING GREEN WOMAN CLIMBS MT. EVEREST.  Please avoid using my example.  Express your creativity.  Next, work on your LEAD.  The lead is generally the first paragraph of a feature article.  In the first paragraph you should answer the following questions:  WHO, WHAT, WHY, WHEN, WHERE, HOW.  You can decide the order of your answers.  Finally, you write the article using quotations and facts you have found in this webquest, especially about Mills Davis.  Now, get to work.  You have a deadline!
