Discover the News provides students with the skills needed to read, understand, research, and write the news.
Led by a stern but kindly editor and helped along by a mentoring ace reporter, each unit of the book takes students through a journalistic journey of identifying news sources, analyzing news articles, developing original story ideas, gathering information via observations and interviews and then on to a step-by-step approach to the news writing process.
The news topics covered are always fresh, up-to-date, and timely as students select their own articles from current news sources to analyze and work on in the lessons. Utilizing a task-based approach with negotiated elements to the syllabus, the book provides an exciting and motivating way for students to discover the news and, by extension, the world around them.
