NEWSPAPER ARTICLES - WRITE YOUR OWN - KS2

This resource shows how newspaper articles are written, and then gives pupils the opportunity to write their own. Everything needed is included in the resource.

First, the class explore and analyse a newspaper article - Chris Keeps Cool - that is likely to appeal to them. They are guided through the article by questions which encourage them to explore the features of a newsapaper article.

A second newspaper article describes how one twin brother has been put up for sale because his mum and dad can’t afford both boys! Again the article is analysed by a series of questions that provoke discussion.

This is followed by a more formal analysis of the article.

Youtube links enhance the experience.

Pupils then have the chance to write their own article describing an incident in which a boy accidentally freezes his tongue to a pole in a dare. This is accompanied by a youtube video that shows the actual incident!

Our kids enjoy this activity. The chances are yours will too if you invest £2 in the resource.

All the best for 2023 and beyond.
