Victorians newspaper report Y5/Y6.

A Year 5/6 Journalistic unit of work with a Victorian theme. All activities are based around the Bryant and May Match Girl trial, culminating in a balanced argument newspaper report. After the children have become familiar with story, transform your classroom into a court and allocate children to different roles in the case. e.g Annie Beasant, Judge , Foreman, Mr Bryant etc. Using prompt sheets provided, children will re -enact the trial! My children absolutely loved it - even getting dressed up and bringing their own props. The unit culminates in the children writing their own newspaper report. Smart board resource to guide them through including an exemplar newspaper to model. A fun way to tackle a tricky non fiction genre.
