1º  Choose two articles related to the same topic (eg. music).  Teacher dictates some personal questions related to music.  In pairs, students discuss their ideas.

2º  Students in pairs are given two different articles(they can’t see each other’s articles).  They have to draw what their articles are about.  Once they have finished, swap their drawings and try to guess by the drawings and asking questions.

3º  Teacher asks students to find in the text the collocations in the article, that is words that make sense together (eg hit album, Personal Manager, rap musician….)

4º  Finally, students can write an article using some of the collocations learnt in the article

In this task.  we use different multiple intelligences (logical, linguistic, spatial, naturalistic) and skills (listening, reading, speaking and writing).

Saro,

I’m always so happy to see teachers using newspapers in their classrooms. For me, the newspaper “still” is the engine of democracy and an important thing to introduce and reinforce with any type of student.

I’d highly recommend Sean Banville’s excellent, “Breaking News English.com” http://breakingnewsenglish.com for higher level students.

Amazing Canadian Newspaper Stories is an old but very teacher friendly resource of real newspaper stories also. I used it often years ago in Canada when teaching immigrants and TEFL courses.

I’d also recommend teachers look at my presentation of the main reasons teachers should use current events in their classrooms.
