Lesson details
Key learning points
- Journalistic reports contain a mixture of facts and individuals' perspectives.
- Journalists obtain facts through research, observation and requests for information.
- Journalists can obtain individuals' perspectives using interviews.
- Journalists are obliged to record quotations accurately to reflect individuals' perspectives.
- We can use role play as a way of empathising with different perspectives and generating ideas for writing.
Common misconception
Pupils may provide 'answers' to the journalist's questions rather than a full quotation that stands alone.
You may wish to model writing one of the quotations to show pupils that it needs to stand on its own without the questions as prompts.
