News report format and 5Ws.
The 5W+H framework provides a cognitive scaffold that converts the overwhelming task of 'writing about an event' into a sequenced checklist. Students who internalise this structure write clearer, more complete non-fiction across every subject.
1. Choose event. 2. Write headline. 3. Write opening with 5Ws. 4. Add quotes. 5. Write conclusion.
