Okay, let’s look at how to do Sub-titling, pulling from the sources and keeping it easy to understand with emojis! πŸ˜„πŸ“πŸ“

Based on the sources, Sub-titling is a way to organise longer pieces of writing to help readers.

The purpose of sub-titling is to convey the main idea or theme of each section of a long piece of writing.

Why do it? πŸ€”πŸ’‘ It helps the reader know at a glance the sub-topics that are being addressed in different parts of the text. Giving suitable sub-titles helps break the monotony of reading long passages.

How to do it (The main idea from the activity described) πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈβž‘οΈπŸ“: The core process involves:

  1. Divide the article into sections. This is based on the shifts in the sub-topics within the text. Look for where the focus changes slightly to a different aspect of the main theme.
  2. For each section you’ve identified, give a suitable sub-heading (or sub-title). This sub-heading should capture the main idea of just that section.

Think of it like putting mini-titles above different parts of a chapter in a book! πŸ“šβž‘οΈπŸ“‘

In short, you break down the text into its different parts (where the topic changes slightly) and give each part a clear, short title that tells the reader what that section is about. πŸ˜„πŸ“βœ¨
