Our focus throughout the week was creating our own Newspaper that details the events that happened in Pompeii.
Throughout the week we:
- 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.
- Identified key writing features in the newspaper. We found adverbials, colons, expanded noun phrases, key vocabulary amongst other features.
- 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.
