About this activity
Students report on a flooded high-school soccer field in a fictional northern Ontario town. They walk a 3D scene to gather notes from witnesses and records, check each claim at the place that proves it, then build the front page in OSSLT formats: a drop-down 5 Ws fact box, a fact-or-opinion checklist, single-selection headlines and leads, and a drag-and-drop paragraph order.
What students learn
- Identify the main idea and the 5 Ws of a news event from sources the student gathered (B1.3)
- Tell facts that a second source can check from opinions stated as if they were facts
- Choose a headline and a lead that fit the facts, as text features of a news report (B2.2)
- Order a news report's paragraphs from most to least important, as the news report form requires (B2.1)
