“NO MORE JUNK IN OUR SCHOOLS”

The best thing schools can do to help their students eat healthier is to get rid of their vending
machines. Most of these machines sell junk food. There are vending machines in most middle schools and
high schools. There are even some in elementary schools. There are lots of reasons to get rid of these
machines, but here are a few of the most convincing.
Vending machines usually sell food like soda, chips, and candy. These are very unhealthy foods.
Eating a lot of these foods can cause kids to health problems like heart disease and diabetes. These are all
deadly diseases.
Another good reason vending machines should be ditched is that they advertise unhealthy food to
kids. This is wrong. In fact, the doctors at the American Academy of Pediatrics say there should be a ban on
advertising unhealthy food to kids.
Finally, junk food distracts from learning. Eating foods high in sugar can cause kids to become tired,
and tired kids have trouble focusing. Removing vending machines from schools is the healthiest choice we
can make for our students.

Answer the questions below.

1. What is the article about?
2. Who are involved in the article?
3. What type of journalistic writing is emphasized in the article? Is it to inform? To entertain? To persuade?

Similar to stories, an editorial has also title to give hint to readers what its content is and an author,
the one who write it. There are instances that an editorial article has no title, and the author is not mentioned.
The paragraph inside the rectangle presents the introduction of the editorial where you can write the
explanation of the topic or issue. Those paragraphs with underline give you the body of the editorial where
you can present your opposition, pull in other facts, give your stand regarding the issue by supporting it with
reasons from strong to strongest order. The paragraph inside an oval gives the conclusion where you can
express solutions to the problem. You can persuade or challenge the reader to be informed on this part.

C. MODELLING
An editorial is an article that presents the newspaper's opinion on an issue. It reflects the majority vote
of the editorial board, the governing body of the newspaper made up of editors and business managers. It is
usually unsigned. Much in the same manner of a lawyer, editorial writers build on an argument and try to
persuade readers to think the same way they do. Editorials are meant to influence public opinion, promote
critical thinking, and sometimes cause people to take action on an issue. In essence, an editorial is an
opinionated news story.

Four Types of Editorials Will

6. Explain or interpret: Editors often use these editorials to explain the way the newspaper covered a
sensitive or controversial subject. School newspapers may explain new school rules or a particular
student-body effort like a food drive.
7. Criticize: These editorials constructively criticize actions, decisions or situations while providing
solutions to the problem identified. Immediate purpose is to get readers to see the problem, not the
solution.
8. Persuade: Editorials of persuasion aim to immediately see the solution, not the problem. From the
first paragraph, readers will be encouraged to take a specific, positive action. Political endorsements
are good examples of editorials of persuasion.
9. Praise: These editorials commend people and organizations for something done well. They are not as
common as the other three.

Tips on Writing an Editorial:

1. Pick a significant topic that has a current news angle and would interest readers.
2. Collect information and facts; include objective reporting; do research.
3. State your opinion briefly in the fashion of a thesis statement.
4. Explain the issue objectively as a reporter would and tell why this situation is important.
5. Give opposing viewpoint first with its quotations and facts.

D. GUIDED PRACTICE
Direction: Read the editorial article below carefully. Answer the questions that follow. Write your answers
on your notebook.
Attitude Towards Study
We are in school because we want to learn. Our study is for our own benefit and not to accommodate
someone else. As such we have to relate it to our own aims or ambitions in life.
We should not think of study merely in terms of quizzes, recitations, homework, term papers and reports.
Putting a valuation upon it in terms of five, ten or twenty years from now will give it more meaning to us.
The facts, ideas, and principles we acquire now are the stuff with which we will do our thinking in the
future.
Let’s remember, too, that how we learn is sometimes more important than what we learn. An efficient
working method will serve us throughout life, but many of the things we learn will just be forgotten. Being
systematic about study will do a lot. Habit then comes to our aid.
With just a few weeks to go before classes end, we hope these few reminders will result to a better
attitude towards study.

1. What is the title of the editorial?

 2. Is the author of the article mentioned in the article?
3. Does the conclusion suggest solution to the given issue?
