This lesson introduces students to the art of crafting compelling news headlines. The objective is to help students identify the purpose and components of effective headlines, analyze examples, and practice writing their own. During the lesson, students will explore what makes a headline attractive and informative by using the 5Ws—who, what, when, where, and why—to build engaging news introductions. Key concepts such as being short and punchy, stating the main idea, and using action verbs are emphasized. Activities include analyzing sample headlines, identifying the 5Ws in news stories, and writing headlines based on various scenarios. The lesson culminates in a gallery walk where students can showcase their creative headlines and provide feedback to their peers.
