Now you finally have it! This bundle combines theory and practice to help your students learn to read and write articles effectively. The bundle consists of an informative presentation and an engaging article analysis stations activity. Presentation This presentation is a clear, concise, and visually appealing guide to teaching the fundamentals of newspaper articles. It offers important general information about the typical features of newspaper articles, including audience, purpose and layout. Through this presentation, your students will learn: What articles are What their audience and purpose are What register is used when writing articles What is the structure of an article Do’s and don’ts of article introductions How to end their article with an appropriate and effective conclusion Article analysis stations activity Getting high-school students to analyze long persuasive articles can be such a challenge! This stations activity solves that problem by breaking the task down into manageable smaller chunks. The students are guided through the analysis through a series of questions that help them discover the layers of meaning in the text. The questions are grouped into four categories: Content, Audience, Purpose and tone, Form and structure and Language This helps students understand how individual words the author uses are linked with whole-text elements like audience, purpose and tone and how all the individual elements work together to create a unified, meaningful whole. The fact that the task is broken down into easy-to-understand sections enables even the most confused learners to make sense of what they’re reading and analyze it, and at the same time allows more advanced students to showcase their in-depth knowledge. The procedure is simple: Divide your students into groups, hand out the texts and the question cards and start the stations activity! A detailed answer key is provided, so no prep is needed on your part! If you prefer to use a more traditional approach, I’ve also grouped all the questions into a simple, beautiful worksheet, and the best part is, you can use the worksheet or the cards for any article or text, not just the one given here! Use the questions to help students prepare for standardized exams or just as regular classroom practice and review. If you enjoy this resource, please leave a review.
