	Planning Comments
article genre (purpose, type)	This type of article is an interview, i have done this to point out the physical and mental effects of a bone break in sport and how it can effect people, i have tried to put a positive stance on the article to show how it can change your life in a positive way, the purpose of this article is so that young people understand how it can change someone’s life, and also to put across that things like this can happen.
Narrative voice (1st, 2nd or 3rd person)	Due to it being an interview it was hard to use a narrative voice, but it would most likely be second, I chose second because like my first article I can address the audience, and explain to them the interview and how it happened. I am able to address them and explain to them the situation
Register (informal/formal, colloquial, dialect, taboo words?)	It will most likely be more formal than informal due to the fact this article will be very serious and if its too formal it may not get that serious message across. It wont be too formal though, I will use a bit of dialect to again make them feel comfortable this means that it the article is still serious but is not too boring.
Stylistics (repetition, strong verbs, adjectives, alliteration, similes, metaphors, sentencing, rhythm)	I will be using no stylistics as I don’t feel them necessary in this type of article.
Tone of address (hectoring, sarcastic, ‘matey’, ironic, etc)	The tone will be a serious tone as it is a serious article and I don’t want that to be taken away with the way I put it across, but to make it not seem to sinister and dark I will make it “matey”.
Structure and pace (discourse structure, logical paragraphing, connectives, conclusion)	The pace will be large sentences but small paragraphs, contrast to my other but I believe this means it will flow slowly and people will take it in more. I want it to be structured so people feel its more serious and understand it more and accept it more.
