TASK 2: NEWS REPORT PYRAMID

The News Report Pyramid is a good visual aid to remember what a good news article looks like.  It can help you to include all the information you need and in what order you need to write it.  The most important information goes at the top (where the pyramid is the widest) and the least important information goes at the end, where the pyramid is the smallest.
