P7 - Week Beginning 6 Feb 2012

Literacy - MEDIA Studies
  Reading

We are continuing our study of newspapers. The format will continue as per last weeks homework, reading at least 1 article from a newspaper on a daily basis and reporting back to your group.

To support your journalistic role it would be advantageous to select articles which support the area you have been tasked to complete in the creation of the newspaper at the end of the week.
 
See previous blog messages to remind you of points to report back on.
