Our focus throughout the week was creating our own Newspaper that details the events that happened in Pompeii.

 

Throughout the week we:

  1. Identified the key features of a newspaper article. We found that a newspaper needs: a name for the newspaper, a main headline, a ‘by line’, cost, images and captions, columns, past tense and a hook in the introduction.
  2. Identified key writing features in the newspaper. We found adverbials, colons, expanded noun phrases, key vocabulary amongst other features.
  3. We then planned and wrote our own newspaper articles. Examples of these can be found on our ‘Outstanding Writing’ wall in class, alongside our Pompeii diaries too.
