Hit the Headlines charts out a series of fun and inspiring,
cross-curricular journalism workshops that enhance key skills and
confidence in areas such as: Writing and editing. Critical
assessment. Interviewing and observation. Mental flexibility and
resourcefulness. Role-playing and teamwork. This book will enable
teachers of 9 - 15 year-olds to involve their students in a number
of effective and well-tested exercises, games and scenarios, which
will encourage them into enthusiastically seeking out and gaining
further knowledge in areas such as news, journalism, social issues,
IT, data assessment, 'intelligent observation', and enhanced
questioning and listening. This is 'organic learning' at its best!
An introduction to the theory behind the book summarises short and
long term learning outcomes which your students can achieve through
these methods, explaining why scenarios which feel 'real' can
immerse students and inspire them to achieve greater proficiency.
The author also flags up particular aspects of the book which
encourage readers to read and use it systematically, as well as to
take on specific challenges themselves in order to better assist
their students in the writing and editing challenges it contains.
Practical photocopiable templates for many chapters are provided,
which can be used as classroom (and out-of classroom) exercises,
examples and solutions to exercises. Through these engrossing
journalistic scenarios, students will learn how to critically
assess levels of 'interest and importance' of diverse facts, and so
begin to understand that report or presentation writing of any sort
involves sequencing a critical balance between these two factors.
Readers and users of this book can go on to customise their own
scenarios, drawing on the stimulating techniques outlined to
improve their students' factual writing and related thinking
skills. In particular, classroom teachers in primary, middle and
secondary schools and all literacy co-ordinators will find this
book extremely useful, as well as students studying for PGCEs and
NQTs.
