Explore the nature of graphics as used in newspaper articles. Different types of graphic material will be analysed to determine their importance as a source of additional information to the text. Repeat three times. Divide the class into four groups. Distribute the newspaper graphics one to each group, one graphic at a time.
Students are to discuss each graphic separately.
The aim is to determine what the corresponding article could be about, based on the information provided by the graphics. Students write their ideas on the surrounding blank paper. Look carefully at each word. Provide students with a copy of the full article, pictures included. Read the article.
