Irish News Young News Readers

Our latest Irish News Young News Readers lesson focused on social media.

In class we discussed the positive and negative ways in which social media is used. The girls also explored how we access the news in 2023 in comparison to how their parents and grandparents would have done when they were Primary Seven pupils.

The main part of the lesson focused on the structure of newspaper articles. The girls assessed whether or not a selected article was written in the journalistic style known as the “inverted pyramid” and identified that the lead of the article that they were evaluating contained a summary lead. The girls completed their analysis using a graphic organiser.

It is wonderful to see such an industrious and happy group of girls in Primary Seven!
