Create a list on flip chart paper. Give children 30 seconds in talk partners to discuss answers and share.
Show class an example of a newspaper front page. Can anybody name any of the different features? Call children out to front to highlight on IWB. Children are then sent off to have a go at annotating a real-life example on their own.
Children will then be stopped and asked where they are with the task.

As a class revisit work from the previous lesson (refer to working wall.) What can we remember from last lesson? Can you name any features of a newspaper?
