Headlines and journalistic writing.
Headline writing requires extreme economy of language — expressing the essential information in the minimum number of compelling words. This constraint forces students to distinguish essential from incidental information, building summarisation and prioritisation skills that transfer across all writing.
1. Read news story. 2. Identify key fact. 3. Write active voice headline. 4. Use max 10 words. 5. Add impact.
