How do I introduce my students to the newspaper?

1. Teach students important newspaper terms such as headline, byline,

masthead,
column, etc. Then, review the different sections of the newspaper and discuss the
type of
information that can be found in each one.
2. Allow students to explore the newspaper independently. Before each newspaper
lesson, have
students explore the newspaper individually for about 10 minutes. Then, spend a
few minutes
discussing the stories they chose to read. This is a great way to assess your
students interests.
3. Review certain abbreviations. If you plan on using the classified section of the
newspaper, be
sure to conduct a lesson about the numerous abbreviations and discuss what they
all mean. Have
students write out some of the classified ads in words to demonstrate they
understand.

How do I get my students interested in the newspaper?

1. Conduct language arts or math lessons using only the material found in the
sports section.
Students who are hesitant about using the newspaper may find the sports section
very compelling.
Math lessons are especially easy to create using the sports statistics available. Once
students are
completely comfortable with the newspaper, you can use the other sections more
liberally.
2. Allow students free time to read the newspaper. No tests, no follow-up just a
no-stringsattached
time to enjoy and develop a lifelong reading habit.
3. Let students make some choices about which newspaper activities they
complete. By doing so,
they may be more receptive to certain assignments. You also may want to offer
some
opportunities for extra-credit work using the newspaper.
4. Use only one section of the paper at a time if some of your students have
difficulty focusing.
