Today was our first A2 Journalism lesson with Tony, who is replacing Johnny. He gave us multiple handouts from the Times newspaper of people that have written a pieceabout themselves titled, a day in the life of...
I really liked reading them about the teenage detective and David Hoffman because I never expected a teenage detective and so it was interesting reading about her day and what she has to do. David Hoffman’s piece was very unexpected though, I never knew he prayed every night and was so laid-back as a father.
Then we were set our task; to write a similar piece about our lives, sticking to the Times style choice.
I liked writing pieces like this because I want to be a columnist one day so this is something I enjoy writing about, sharing my opinion and incorporating my life in to a piece of work.
I could have written a lot more about my day but that would mean me going off on extended tangents which I don’t think would have been appropriate and would have disrupted the flow of the piece. But it could have also made the piece more witty and accessible to teenagers who could relate to what I was saying.
