What is journalism? Day 1 plan

What is Journalism?
Tells the News!
Who, What, about you

Opening activity: I will show them a picture of something going on
Students will free write about the news story
3 minutes!
We will share!

Mini Lesson!

Me:
Inga Puffer beats her life long Enemy
Inga Puffer says goodbye to her socks and hello to adulthood
Inga Puffer casts her ballot
Inga Puffer wets her pants

Boy struggle to write next great alternative love balled
Carrie eats 14 hotdogs in one sitting

Interview me and get the story!
Give out inverted pyramids

Then students write headlines about themselves.
We share.


Miss Puffer
Interviewing!
Switch headlines and get the scoop!
Interviewing cards...
open ended/closed ended questions

Write an inverted pyramid story about the person!
