Irish News Critical Literacy Project

Primary Six worked hard this afternoon to further develop their critical literacy skills. We began our lesson with a newspaper jargon busting exercise. Secondly, we delved further into this week's copy of the Irish News to begin to question:

• What creative techniques are used to attract my attention?
• How might different people understand this message differently from me?

The girls are certainly becoming more familiar with each kind of news story and are beginning to recognise the impact that events of all types can have on their lives and community.
