THE 4Ws
ln a photo or news story, ask the following four questions. Answers must be concise and as brief as possible.
WHO? - Subje$ may be a person, place or thing. WHAT? - what happened or is happening? There must be an action word (Vefi)
in the answer.
WHEN? WHERE?
- Determine time
answer.
- Determine plaie
(outside).
This is an excellent'means of summarising and identifying the main idea- After a lot of pl'actice and success in doing the 4Ws, the next step is to see if there is information explaining the WHY? and the HOW? of the story
