I chose an article about tornadoes an their warning sytems from a news paper from 1951. I thought it was interesting to see the layout of the article from that time period and how they used certain language in the article. It was more lengthy and told as a story unlike today's news paper articles, which seem a lot shorter and to the point. It was also interesting to read how the research for tornadoes is similar and different to today's research.
Introduction- Talk about the basis of the article and explain that it was written in 1951 and the differences
Body 1- The story behind the tornado that sparked the article and the stle used
Body 2- The similarities and differences behind storm spotting today and back then, and the audience it was written for
Body 3- Combine both Body paragraphs and give more detail about the language, audience, and style of the article
Conclusion- Mention how articles about tornado research may be different today, considering they are more frequent and less talked about. Research is still being done, however it's not going out to the public in similar ways. Example: the show "Storm Chasers" on discovery.
Remember to keep your focus on how these features demonstrate a specific audience. Who is that specific audience? Be careful not to fall into merely summarizing the paper.
