              STOP THE PRESSES
              - THIS JUST IN!


              Activity 1
              • Newspapers may be a common
               occurrence for you, but not
               necessarily for youngsters.
               Help them to identify the most
               prominent features they find
               in the images by the
               newspaper’s name.
              • Just a reminder about the parts
               of a newspaper: the first page,
               where the most important news
               is presented, is called the
               front page; the name
               of the newspaper is presented
               in another font and is called
               the nameplate or
               masthead. The title of the most
               important headline is called the
               banner headline. Each piece
               of news has a headline, a deck
               (a summary of the story which
               appears below the headline), a
               byline (the name of the reporter
               who wrote the piece) and a
               dateline. The first sentences are
               called the lead, and they answer the Five W’s of journalism (what, who, when, where, why). If a story on the
               front page continues further back in the section, they have a jumpline to indicate that it is so. Below images
               is information describing what is being depicted, called the caption or cutline and photo credit.
              • While exploring the newspaper, you may find different sections: local and international news, sports,
               culture, entertainment, business and finances, society, classified ads. Newspapers may also contain an
               editorial page, letters to the editor and op-ed (opinion pieces written by people not affiliated with the
               editorial board of the newspaper).


              Activity 2
              • Remember, you may use the track to show how to give opinions. Using it is not obligatory, especially if
               your students are extroverted and engage quickly in the discussions. Remember, the sections provided in
          rack 23  • The CD icon will appear throughout the practice to indicate the activity the track is linked to. However,
               the book are just one way to approach the practice, you may change it at will.


           T   remember the way we order activities is a suggestion and you may change them to suit the purposes you
               established with your students.
