Magpie a Model Text – Newspapers

Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6

This sheet supports pupils in understanding the features of journalistic writing. By analysing a model news report, children identify how writers use opening sentences to answer the key questions (who, what, when, where), include quotes and end with a summary. They also notice journalistic vocabulary and cohesive devices that give the article flow. Pupils are then guided to adapt these techniques within their own sentences.
