Today, you will be researching one of five types of news that we will be exploring throughout this semester (you will be writing a satire piece as well, but we'll save that for later). With your group, you are going to find information about your assigned type of news and organize that information into a brief powerpoint presentation to share with the class tomorrow.
Your powerpoint should be structured as follows:
Slide #1: What are some characteristics of this news? Where might you find it in the newspaper? What type of people might read this news?
Slide #2: Two specific examples of this type of news (links to articles). Be prepared to share what it is about that article, specifically, that qualifies it as your category of news.
Slide #3: Works Cited slide (list of websites as to where you got all of your information)
The powerpoint itself should be created on one computer, but everyone should be participating in the process. I suggest having one person make the presentation, and the other 2 or 3 doing the research and telling the powerpoint person what to write.
Here are some helpful links for research depending on what type of news you were assigned. However, you are welcome to use other sites as well.
Hard News
Features
Editorials
Reviews
Sports
And something for all groups:
General
You will have the rest of today's class to start working on this, and about 15 minutes of tomorrow's class to finish it up. You will present tomorrow. Your group will be graded as follows:
Requirements met: 25 pts.
Effort: 15 pts.
Your individual class work/presentation: 10 pts.
