Newspaper Articles
The News
Usually the hard or pure news stories appear on the front pages of newspapers. These articles report the basic facts about the latest news events without giving the writers opinion. They are usually relatively short and well-organized. The reader should be able to answer the five key W questions who, what, where, when, and often why or how in the first few paragraphs. Other details of the situation follow and the article ends with the least important information. Feature stories are different from hard news stories. Some feature articles may provide background or additional information related to an important news event. Others may focus on human interest topics and may be personal, emotional, or humorous. Feature stories often make the reader want to do something such as take some action, become involved in a cause, or change ones behavior. Editorials express the opinions of the newspapers editors and journalists who write for the paper. Editorials appear on the editorial page which is often at the back of the first section of the newspaper. Newspapers often have a particular political point of view and this is expressed in the editorials. Letters to the Editor also appear in this section of the paper. These are sent in by readers who want to express their opinions about certain events or situations. Political cartoons, which use art to express a certain opinion, also appear in this section. __________________________________________________________________________ A. In your group, look through a current newspaper and find a hard news story, a feature article, an editorial, a letter to the editor, and a political cartoon. Each member of your group should read one of these and then discuss it with the others. B. Choose one of the headlines from the Headline News section of this lesson and write a short, hard news story about the event. First write the information that will answer the five Ws in the space provided below. Then on a separate piece of paper, write the whole article. You may use the first sentence from the Headline News activity to begin your article. __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________

Idioms, Expressions, and Proverbs For exercise A, put the students in groups and ask them to guess the meanings of the idioms and proverbs. Have them fold their papers in half or cover the bottom of the page so they cannot see the meanings in exercise B. Let them use their imaginations and have fun with this exercise.

Group Interaction Find someone Who. Distribute the worksheet. First have the students write the questions they will ask before they begin the oral practice and review the questions together. (This will ensure that they are asking the questions correctly as they circulate around the room.) When the students circulate around the class asking the questions they have written, and then find a classmate who can answer the question, they will write the students name on the line and follow-up with one more question of their own. Ex. Did you read the newspaper this morning? If the student answers Yes, the second question might be, Was there anything interesting in the paper?, Did you read the weather forecast, Did you read the comics?, etc. Try to encourage the students to engage in real conversation during this activity. Follow-up by sharing the information with the whole class. This activity provides a good opportunity for the students to practice the new vocabulary from the unit.
