Top 5 Dating Disasters (& DIY solutions)

	Planning Comments
article genre (purpose, type)	This article will be a countdown style article containing ten things that could go wrong whilst on a date. It will inform women what to do when something embarrassing happens or how to solve a problem before a date – safely.
Narrative voice (1st, 2nd or 3rd person)	This article will be written in a 1st person narrative voice. This will help the reader feel as though the reader has been in the same situation.
Register (informal/formal, colloquial, dialect, taboo words?)	The register in this article will be informal as it is a quick and fun ‘help’ guide. The language used will be quite colloquial.
Stylistics (repetition, strong verbs, adjectives, alliteration, similes, metaphors, sentencing, rhythm)	This article will contain loads of adjectives, as it will be explaining exactly what to do. The title contains alliteration to make it sound fun and laid back.
Tone of address (hectoring, sarcastic, ‘matey’, ironic, etc)	The tone of address will be quite laid back and chatty. This will make the reader feel as though the writer of the article is like a friend helping out rather than a total stranger.
Structure and pace (discourse structure, logical paragraphing, connectives, conclusion)	The pace of this article will be an average speed containing roughly the same amount of short and long sentences, although, the paragraphs will be quite short so it doesn’t look to lengthy to read.
