Informative Texts- Newspaper Report Activity Lesson 1

**All about Newspaper Reports! **

In this engaging and interactive lesson, primary-level students are able to discover:

1. What constitutes an informative text and it’s narrative purpose.
2. How they are written, in particular, the elements that make up an effective and exciting newspaper report.
3. Important writing conventions that students can use to draft and write their own reports.

Students have three main activities in this lesson. They can first identify headlines in activity 1 before moving onto activity 2, where they will have to select information from a news article and label it according to the 5 elements of a report.

The last task asks students to select their own article and decode the elements independently or in pairs.
