A quick-and-easy lesson structure for using news reports

 

Chile's recent constitutional plebiscite prompts the question of how to use news reports on current events in an English class. The answer is that it's easy : task, not text. This session reviews a simple, teacher-friendly and highly-effective lesson structure which provides a language-rich, reading-comprehension and authentic discussion plan.

This session comes from our Reading Methodology series and while aimed at Middle School (2º ciclo) / High School (media) teachers, the model can be adapted for use with E2L and E1L  programmes, and with younger students. Even three year-old pre-readers can succeed in newspaper-based activities. (Ask us how).
