Today Crew Mcloughlin have started a new genre of writing – a newspaper report, which when finished will be published onto our blog. (How exciting) 😄 We hit the ground running with experience day where we unpicked and explored real newspaper articles. We discussed the purpose of newspaper articles, reliability and features included. After we had a secure understanding of the features, we worked in mini crews to read a selection of articles around the room. We found the different features then reported back our findings to the whole crew. We then watched a clip called ’Roads End.’ This is the stimulus we will use for our own newspaper report. We found the clip very intriguing and it allowed us to be like real life journalists. We then unpicked a model text before thinking specifically about headlines. We finished our lessons today by creating our very own! There was some great use of puns and alliteration.
