English – Newspaper Articles • This week, we are going to be writing newspaper articles about coming back together as a class/school. • Your story is going to report the news that school will be reopening next Monday, 8th March. • This is slightly tricky to get your head round, as the reopening of the school has not yet happened, but the fact that it will be reopening has been announced by Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister. • You are going to imagine that you are a news reporter and you are reporting on this announcement. • Today, you are going to plan your report.
English – Newspaper Articles • First, you will need to think of a catchy headline. • E.g. • Giraffe Class to be Reunited! • Back Together Soon! • Schools Reopening! • Reunited! • We’ll Be Back! • Come Together!
English – Newspaper Articles • Watch the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson’s, announcement here: • U.K. Schools to Open in Two Weeks, Boris Johnson Announces • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwtRbPzC4No
English – Newspaper Articles • Now, use the planning sheet to plan your report. • There are three planning sheets – choose the one that you feel is right for you. • The planning sheets are in a separate document on the class page. • Don’t forget that you have already conducted your interviews and have your quotes!
