Goal: Select from a wide range of genre when reading independently
This week in reading you will be selecting a range of articles from Kiwi Kids News.
You need to be selective with the articles you choose and ensure they come from different genres.
Brainstorm with your WS group, what sorts of genres do newspapers have?
Looking at the images below, what genre do they fit into?
Construct a list of genres with your WS group and see what articles from Kiwi Kids News can fit into those genres.
Should We Stop Deep Sea Oil Drilling?
Warriors to drop women's team in 2021
Twitter banned in Nigeria
This week you need to select three articles all from a different genre. As you read, construct and add to a blog post your thoughts on the article and why. Where possible also identify some of the shapes we have looked at in writing, or if you can create a better headline the author could have used.
Share your blog post and have a look at what others have chosen to read for the week and leave a positive, thoughtful, helpful comment on their blog!
