Use newspaper concepts to help students integrate knowledge
from multiple disciplines as they write about current events
and the lives of others in an unbiased and accurate way.
This book was created by preservice instructors to teach
upper elementary students (grades 3-5) newspaper concepts,
journalism, and how to write newspaper articles. Based on
the Newspaper in Education program--a cooperative venture
between newspaper publishers and schools that offers
newspaper activities to teach reading and contents skills
and strategies--the book takes the concept further and
incorporates a focus on writing. Your students will learn
about the organiza
tional structure of news stories; writing different types
of news articles; using quotes and figurative language;
interviewing; and revising, editing, and composing a
newspaper. As you go through this book, you'll enjoy the
"newspaper look" of its pages, the informal tone of its
language, and its rich offering of lesson plans, activities,
sample worksheets, terms, and resource lists that you and
your students can use to create your own classroom
newspaper.
