The structure of an opinion article

You can create an engaging opening by using humour, or creating a shared experience with your reader. In an opinion piece, your message is your opinion. In an opinion piece, it is important to get the reader onside, so that they are more likely to internalise your message. The ending of your opinion piece should bring together the threads of your argument and reinforce your viewpoint. You can create an impactful ending by using mirroring and/or leaving your reader with a moral conundrum to consider.
