Step II Presentation

1)Are you a school reporter?
2)What do you do as a school reporter? If not, how about your classmates? Or do you know something about reporters?
3)Do you want to e a reporter in the future?
2.Ask students to say something about newspaper.
Hand out some newspapers to students, and get them to talk about the sections in the newspaper.
T: Now, go through the newspaper, and tell me what different sections there are in it.
S: there are many different sections, such as Home News, International News, Sports, Weather, Travel, Advertisements and so on.
T: Well done! Yesterday I asked you to surf on the Internet to find some information about news and media. Have you found any?
SA: I’ve found the style of the news story. Most news stories have a very clear style, they give the main points at the top in the headline and the leading paragraph. The body of the story then adds details, statements and comments from people involved in the story, and plus any background which the writer feels necessary.
SB: News stories are easy to understand. Most news stories have three distinct sections: the headline, lead and body. Since each of these sections repeat or expand upon the story’s main points, you get at least three chances to understand them. The openingparagraph of the news story is known as the lead. Usually, the lead will tell you what the “something happened” is. That information is generally found in the subject and in main verb of the leading sentence, so a little knowledge of the grammar of the lead will be useful.
SC: I have found something about headlines. From the internet I learned there are two types of headlines. Most news stories use sentence headlines although they may be shortened by omitting certain words as you will see later. Many feature stories and some very short news stories use phrase headlines or titles which leave out the verb, here are some examples of them:
Sentence headlines:
1)Scientists Listen to Whale Hearing Via Third Ear
2)Bush’s Strength Is Also His Weakness
3)Man Complains Bad Rope Spoiled His Suicide
Phrase headlines:
1)Politician Killed in Pakistani City
2)Bush in T-shirt not for broadcast
