Analysis: Probing Questions/ Guide Questions
1. What kind of article is shown in the paragraph that you have just arranged?
2. What is the subject of the feature article?
3. What is a feature article?
4. How do we write it?
C. Lesson Proper
A feature article is much more than a collection of bare facts. It is a special-
interest article abounding with details that makes for pleasurable reading. While a hard
news article focuses on exactly what happened, when and to whom, a feature article
typically adds a dimension of human interest.
Feature articles frequently contain a story line and often have entertainment value.
Rather than reciting the plain facts, they go into a topic more in-depth.
For a clearer understanding of Feature article, let us differentiate it from News
article.
The following are the basic elements of a feature article.
1. Title. It must cover the whole idea of your feature article and must catch the
attention of your target readers. This is also known as the headline or the head
of the article.
2. Byline. This shows the author’s name and sometimes his/her affiliation (if he/she
is an in-house writer or a contributor). The byline
can appear below the headline or at the end of the article.
3. Lead or Introduction. Should be able to hook the reader’s interest. The
introduction serves as a taste test for the rest of the article. There are a lot of
ways in doing the introduction.
4. Body or Nub Head. This is the presentation of details. This is the part where your
target readers get what they want to read in your article.
5. Conclusion. This summarizes your article. Make sure that you end your article the
way you started and not just as if you just quickly stopped writing. The
conclusion should help the reader remember the story.
D. Problem
Directions: Answer F If the statement describes a feature article or NF If it does not. Do
this orally.

___2. The title must catch the attention of the readers.

___4. It is usually more entertaining than it informs, instructs, or advises.
E. Generalization

F. Evaluation

F. Evaluation
Directions: Read the given paragraphs below. Arrange and rewrite them into a coherent
feature article.
At the Niyogyugan Festival, the province’s 39 municipalities and two cities fill
the capitol grounds with coconut-themed booths that turned the city center into
a merry-town of well-crafted coconut huts. The week-long festival is held from
August 16 to 26. The eight-year-old festival was launched in 2011, it was
originally a gathering of some coconut farmers selling their products, making a
unique presentation of their respective booths that gets better every year.
Quezon is one of the best places to visit every August when basking on the
beach is often a no-go activity due to monsoon rains, and the province
steadies the spotlight on food tourism and its top product-the coconut.
The aesthetically pleasing booths are a potent sales-booster for local farmers
and entrepreneurs. Locals and tourists need not travel for hours to each of
Quezon’s towns to have a taste of all its famed delicacies- booth hopping does
the trick.
