What's in the News?

This is a really simple lesson plan, but it works like a charm every time and can be used with learners of all different levels.

In my opinion it's effective because it gets students using all four skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. All you need to do is bring a selection of newspapers into the classroom. You could start off by getting students to discuss current news stories in smaller groups or brainstorm different types of news stories together as a class.

I usually take pens and glue and get students to stick their articles on an A3 sheet of paper, writing the questions and key vocab underneath. If you have a few groups you can photocopy these and swap them over to give lots of reading practice. Students can then say which article they liked best etc..
