How to write feature articles on a subject about war and the youth today?

Question

I'm doing a feature article for school and the subject is how war touches the lives of the youth today. How do you go about setting up the article? I also need ideas to support the article. HELP!!!

Answer 1

Set a number goal -- ask 10 or 20 or 50 students if the Iraq War has touched their lives.  Once they answer yes or no, ask them why or how.

Their answers will fall into a pattern.....and you will have a local news feature article and you will have percentages and will have representative quotes from youths.

Hope this answer helps you.
