Analyzing a Newspaper Article

Learners will read a newspaper article on Rushford's village fair held last year. They are expected to identify facts, opinions along with direct and reported speech instances within it.

The Editorial Report Assignment

Students will then harness all previous prompts along with their newly formed analytical skills to create an editorial report recounting observations from village fair held earlier.

This serves two-fold purpose:
• Promotes active reading comprehension skills by understanding difference between fact vs opinion based content plus identifying examples of direct/reported speeches as appeared in newspapers' article about that event day.

Note: This report can also be used as submittable content towards school magazine's eventual publication as a third person account of happenings during that local village festivity.

The objective is dual: help learners hone their writing whilst ensuring those often hesitant writers also feel confident enough to share ideas through written form. It creates an inclusive environment where students with special educational needs and ESL students actively participate.
