What is journalistic writing?
Journalistic writing is like a newspaper report.
The purpose is to tell the news.
We’re going to be writing an online news article about the Leeds West Indian Carnival. We’re learning about the carnival in our History topic at the moment so we know loads about it! A carnival is a festival that is made up of processions, dancing, music and costumes.
Help at home: Ask your child who founded the Leeds West Indian Carnival? How old was this person when they immigrated to Leeds? How did they feel when they moved here, welcome or unwelcome?
Our news article is going to include:
- a headline
- subheadings
- main facts
- history of the carnival
- quotes
