As part of our Literacy this term, Primary 7 are studying the layout and organisation of newspaper articles. We are studying effective headlines which grab the reader’s attention, fact v opinion and balanced v bias.

Pupils chose newspaper articles which are of interest to them and highlighted 2 facts and one opinion in each article.  They were asked to share their findings with the rest of the class.

Over the next few weeks, P7 will carry out independent research on a famous person of their own choosing. This task has helped to remind pupils that sometimes information acquired through the internet and the media may be misleading as it may be based on personal opinion or bias.
