Article Template for Members/Student Members – Writing up an event/activity that you have attended/been involved in for consideration for The Society of Sports Therapists’ website
Things to think about prior to the event:
- Agree who is going to write up the article – one person or a team of people?
- Photographs really add to an article – make sure someone has a camera/Phone and is happy to take some photographs/videos
- Make sure you have permission to photograph/video the relevant persons
- Quotes really add to an article – it’s always good to get some before you leave an event as it is fresh in people’s minds. So having a pen and notebook with you is always useful
- And if you don’t feel writing is for you – why not video the event
1) Create a headline relevant to the article
2) Write an Introduction
- What was the event /activity? – Give details on the What, Who, Where, When?
3) In the next paragraph(s) give more detail about what the event was all about
- Create a picture for the audience of the setting and what people were doing.
4) Add some quotes from:
- Members/Lecturers/students – i.e. how they enjoyed it/ what they learned
- Any externals involved – i.e. how the students and staff got on, their reflections
5) Optional concluding paragraph
