Current Events

The last quarter has been a whirlwind of work winding down to when summer releases students back to their countries of origin.

For the Nonfiction unit in 10th grade, we delved into how periodicals and current events are written and discovered the workings of the inverted pyramid structure for writing news stories and the magic of the 5W’s and H (who, what , when , where , why, and how). Groups presented their own scripted broadcast of a current news story while other students listened and recorded the 5 W’s and How from the presentation. Individually, each took a NYC post card and created their own story around the image producing an interesting variety of stories. Some were dramatic, some were historical, and some were fanciful but each was unique.
