OLC40P: Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course
Complete the following assignment and submit your work to your teacher.
Now it's your turn to practice:
Using the same THREE news reports submitted to your teacher in Activity 1, follow the same process of underlining and creating a KWL chart for EACH of the three news reports, as in the exemplar, and submit to your teacher.
Remember, you are focusing on the Headline and sub heading alone and creating a KWL chart as well as underlining the key words and phrases, which will help you to predict the content of the news report.
