Sharing news

This lesson was an exquisite experience for me because I got to hear the students present the newstories they had picked.
It was magnificent to see that all the students were both willing and able to report these pieces of news - some of which were quite challenging to cover. But everybody did realy well! Thank you for the presentations!

We also did exercise 5 on page 185. We compared two extracts from two different newspapers. These extracts were about the same event but described that event in a very different manner.
The first extact was clearly from yellow press. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism
The second extract seemed more like quality journalism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_press

Here is a nice example of the yellow press: https://www.thesun.co.uk/

This is my favourite quality newspaper: https://www.theguardian.com/international

Next time we will continue on the topic of journalism.
No homework. :)
