WALT: Write a newspaper article about Christopher Columbus.

OSCA: Write in third person.







TASK: You are going to pretend you are a journalist for a newspaper, and you have to write an article on Christopher Columbus off on his voyage again. You can include a picture and you need to write in third person.


Reminder what points make a good newspaper article:

  1. Make your headline short
  2. Write your report in third person
  3. Use the first sentence to sum up what the story is about
  4. Use paragraphs to help the reader clearly understand the information


Below are some examples, but you can make this however you like, by hand or on the computer :)


If you need help with this, ask someone at home to show you some child friendly newspaper articles and what they look like!
