Have a look at the PowerPoint and then have a go at the worksheet.

English

Today, we are going to start writing our newspaper articles. We will be writing a heading and introduction today.

What is a heading?

A heading should be snappy, at the top of a newspaper article and explains what the report is about. You can use alliteration or a pun. What imaginative ideas can you think of?

Introduction

Now we need to write our introduction. The introduction must BRIEFLY explain what the article is about. It shouldn’t be too wordy. It just gives the reader a quick glimpse into what the article is about and give them the option to decide whether they want to read on.

It should include:

·       Who

·       What

·       Where

·       How

·       Why

·       When

Use the PowerPoint and wordmat to help you come up with ideas.
