This resource contains a model text of a newspaper article. You can explore this with your class as a good example of what you might expect them to write. Give children time to read the model text, identify its features and analyse the vocabulary and sentence structures used. Which elements might they want to use in their own writing?

Then pupils can use the writing frame to create their own newspaper article. Encourage them to use all the ideas, vocabulary and editing techniques they have learnt to produce a high-quality piece of writing. They may want to write out a first draft in their books and use this worksheet for a final copy to be proudly presented on the wall.

The teaching PowerPoint for this writing unit also provides a blank writing frame for you to model a writer's thought process and demonstrate writing techniques. It could also be where you do a shared write to guide and inspire writers.
