Writing Headlines Using Alliteration
Newspaper articles use headlines to attract readers.
Headlines are written at the top of an article, like a title, and hint at what the article will be about.
Newspaper headlines should be short, snappy and grab the reader’s attention.
They do this by:
-
Giving some information about the story.
-
Using powerful words that make an impact.
-
Using alliteration so the title sounds catchy.
-
Using humour to make the audience laugh.
You are going to use alliteration in your headlines today.
Alliteration is when words close together in a sentence start with the same sound.
For example: Sammy the slippery snake went sliding by.
