Your main aim is to write TWO really interesting texts that are full of well used LANGUAGE FEATURES. This is how you show that you are a good writer.
So, in the same way that you used SWIPES to analyse texts in Question 3, you can use SWIPES again to tell you what to include in your own writing.
S - Sentences (Does the author use a mixture of sentence lengths? Long for adding information, short to grab people's attention)
W - Words (Does the author use and long or interesting words? What do these words make you think? Does the author REPEAT any important words?)
I - Imagery (Does the author use any similes/metaphors/personifications/alliteration/onomatopoeia to have an effect on the reader?)
P - Personal Pronouns (Does the author use you/your, or rhetorical questions to make you feel like the text is talking directly to you?)
E - Emotive Language (Does any part of the text make you feel angry, happy, excited, sad?)
S - Statistics (Does the author use facts and figures, surveys or quotes to back up what they are saying?)
Try to include AS MANY OF THESE AS POSSIBLE in your own writing.
