Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet to identify and record the matching sections that have been used in a newspaper story that can answer different questions about an event that is currently happening in the news in the local or national arena.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore parts of a newspaper that can answer different questions about an event happening in the news.

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.
