Activities in this teaching pack include a template to select and record answers to the key questions of who, when, where, what or why to match a headline for a current event happening in the news to utilise when composing an example news report about what happened.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore answers to the key questions of who, when, where, what or why about a headline for a newspaper story.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to investigate the structure and format of journalistic writing used in newspaper reports and stories about current events, practise building words by adding the prefixes inter and super to different word roots and write fact and opinion sentences using fronted adverbials. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
