OUTLINING
![Page 11: HealthyVoices - Session Two - The Art of Storytelling](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082915/548a8f3eb47959860a8b45ef/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Outlining an Article
What is an Outline? – Intro leading into a body, perhaps with subheadings, leading in turn to a conclusion.
Rules: - Outlines should be: clear, concise and encapsulate the essence of the piece of work you are writing.
Introductions: – Set the scene, capture attention, introduce the argument, signpost what the reader can expect. Tell them what you will tell them.
Body:– Perhaps with sub headings depending on where your writing will appear. Tell them, tell them and tell them again but with nuance, style and with a tone that will keep them engaged.
Conclusions: – Tell them what you’ve told them but leave them wanting more. In the case of social media invite comments

Building a story
Content considerations
• Using data and stats – Data is powerful but can also be unreliable and easy to manipulate.
• Importancy of accuracy – Don’t Misquote, Attribute sources, check your facts
• Clear, precise, easily understood language
![Page 14: HealthyVoices - Session Two - The Art of Storytelling](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082915/548a8f3eb47959860a8b45ef/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Building a Story
Content Considerations continued
• One story – one idea
• Sign posting: tell them what you are about to tell them and remind them what you’ve told them.
• Plot development: Non fiction works can still have plot.
