L.O.: To plan a newspaper report.

This week, you are going to write a newspaper

report about a sports world record being broken.

Today, you need to answer the Big Question: ‘What

is the world’s most incredible sport?’ You will look

through the book and choose the sport that you

think is the most incredible. You will then plan a

newspaper report about someone breaking a world

record in that sport.

We looked at joggling last week but you do not

have to choose joggling.

We have copied the main pages of the

‘Incredible Sports’ book on the following

slides.

Read through them again and decide which

sport you think is the most incredible.

If you are struggling to decide, then choose

your favourite sport – the more you like the

sport, the easier it will be to write a news

story about it!

It’s decision time!

Which of the sports on the previous slide do

you think is the most incredible? OR, if you

are struggling, which sport is your favourite?

Take a few minutes to jot down your ideas –

remember, you want to select a sport that you

feel confident writing a news story about.

Newspaper features

Do you recall the features of newspaper reports?

Remember that news stories tell the reader about something that has already happenedunless it is ‘breaking news’ (something happening right now that is being reported live – and we usually see this type of news online rather than in print).

Complete the news report plan on the

left (attached as a separate document

that you can print out and write on if

you wish) in as much detail as possible

– you can use extra paper for this.

You can use the joggling report on the

previous slide to help you, however

your news report should be longer and

include more detail.

Extension: Write a final sentence after

the quote explaining what your

sportsman/sportswoman plans on doing

next (will they be competing in another

event soon? Are they going to have a

break? Something else?)
