C. Discussion

Before we proceed to our topic, let us take a

look first on the objectives of our lesson.

First is
Define news report.

Second,
Appreciate the importance of 5W’s and 1 H in
News angling

Lastly,
Create news lead based on the factsheet given
incorporating any of the news angling.

But, in order for us to really achieve these

objectives, we must obey our three classroom
rules. What are the three classroom rules
again?

(The students enumerate the rules in unison)

1. Listen carefully and avoid having discussion to

others while the teacher discuss.
2. Refrain from using gadgets during the discussion
and make sure it is on a silent mode.
3. Raise your hands if you have any questions,
clarification, addition, or concerns.
Wow, I’m glad to hear that you remember all
the rules. Now, let us proceed to our topic. So,
our topic for this day is One of the types of
Journalistic writing which is News report. When
you hear the word news what comes first to
your mind? Anyone in the class? (Students raise their hands.)

Yes, Absin. News is information about current events.

How about the word Journalism? (Students raise their hands.)

Yes, I can see that you’re rasing your hand

Suico?
Journalism is the activity of gathering, assessing,
Very Good! creating, and presenting news and information.
(The teacher will post the Visual aid on the
board.)

Okay, students! Can you please read in chorus

what is in the visual aid? News reports are found in newspapers and their
purpose is to inform readers of what is happening in
the world around them.
Okay! Thank you!

News articles are written to inform and educate

readers on current affairs/events. They are
used to provide readers with information they
need/want to know about the world around
them.

Did you understand? Yes, Ma'am!

Very good!

Now, let us proceed to the Characteristics of

News

(The teacher will post the Visual aid on the

board.)

May I request the right row to please read

what's written in the visual aid? Characteristics of News:
1. Accuracy
2. Objective
3. Factual
4. Balance
5. Concise
Thank you, Class. 6. Timely

(The teacher will explain about the

characteristics)
(The students answer in chorus)
What are again the characteristics of News? Accuracy, Objective, Factual, Balance, Concise,
and Timely ma'am!

Excellent! Let’s give ourselves an excellent

clap!

Moving on, let us have the Basic structure of

News

What have you noticed in the picture? (Students raise their hands)

Yes, Binahon. It is an inverted pyramid ma'am.

Yes, precisely! 3 claps for Binahon!

Class, we should always remember that in

journalism, the inverted pyramid refers to a
story structure where the most important
information (or what might even be considered
the conclusion) is presented first. The who,
what, when, where, why and how appear at the
start of a story, followed by supporting details
and background information.
 Did you understand? Yes, ma’am!

So after knowing the Basic structure of News

let us now have Angling in News Writing.

Angling in the process of placing the most

important data at the beginning of the lead to
make it more interesting to the reader. So
class, the news angle is your specific hook.
This is where you determine the specific facts
upon writing your news report. Did you
understand, class? Yes, ma’am!

Let's take for Example when Angling:

Here is the Gathered data: kindly read it aloud

class. What: hanging to death
Who: an old man
Where: inside his sister's house in Quezon city
When: yesterday
Why: unable to find work and could not go home to
his family in Sultan Kudarat
Now for you to understand deeper, I have How: by hanging himself using an iron cord
provided here the leads answering the
questions in news writing.

1. Angling using the What lead

-Hanging himself, an old man was found dead
yesterday inside his sister's house in Quezon
city.

2. Angling using the who lead

-An old man was found dead after hanging
himself yesterday inside his sister's house in
Quezon city.

3. Angling using the Where lead

-Inside his sister's house in Quezon city, and
old man was found hanging himself to death
yesterday.

4. Angling using the When lead

Yesterday, an old man was found hanging
himself to death inside his sister's house in
Quezon city.

5. Angling using the Why lead

Unable to find work and could not go home to
his family in Sultan Kudarat , an old man hung
himself to death yesterday inside his sister's
house in Quezon city.

6. Angling using the how lead

-Using an iron cord, an old man hung himself to
death inside his sister's house in Quezon city
yesterday after he failed to find work and could
not go home to his family in Sultan Kudarat.

Are we clear, class? Yes, ma’am!

D. Application

For your activity, you will be divided into two

groups so this will be the group 1 and this will
be the group 2. The instruction is very simple,
I will going to give you facts sheets each group
and all you have to do is to make a news lead
out of it. Remember that the factsheet contains
scrambled information and you have to arrange
it accordingly. Is that okay, Class? Yes, ma'am!

You will only be given 10 minutes for this

activity and each groups will have two
representatives to present it to the front. Are we
clear? Yes, ma'am!

Do you have any questions? Clarifications? None so far, ma'am!

Okay! You may now start your activity.

(The time has run out.)

Okay, are you all done?

(The group 1 learners present their output in front of
the class.)
Good job! Let's give the group 1 a round of
applause! (The group 2 learners present their output in front of
the class.)
Good job, group 2! Let's give them also a round
of applause!
E. Evaluation.

F. Generalization

So what is News report again?
News reports are found in newspapers and their
purpose is to inform readers of what is happening in
the world around them. News reports have a
certain structure that you need to follow. This
structure is sometimes called the Inverted Pyramid.
Why is learning about news report important? It is important for it keeps us updated ma’am.
