Make copies for the class and distribute at the start of the lesson. If needed, a copy of the Newsday article may also be printed out. This was 37 minutes into the newscast and the feature lasts two minutes plus. Today's lesson deals with the entire newspaper, with stories first focusing on several small stories and then using their own imaginations to find interesting details on their own. Have students locate and read the stories they are directed towards and complete the crossword comprehension puzzle.
Readers are very interested in the lives of famous people and what is happening to their careers.
Each day the newspaper is filled with interesting stories about the celebrities we know and new ones appearing on the scene. The 5 stories begin 37 minutes in and the feature lasts two minutes plus. Have students watch it twice to gather the facts they need for this assignment. Hand out the ELA Task 1 Multiple Choice questions and have students use their notes to assist them in selecting their answers. I have selected ten stories about people who have interesting things going on in their lives and careers.
