Exploring our national current events

  LI: To identify author’s purpose.


During reading we also talked about Current News in New Zealand. In groups of 4-5 we explored our current news in NZ using different News Websites like - RNZ (Radio NZ), Newshub, NZ Herald, Kiwi Kids News and more. Each day, newspaper editors around the world must make desicions about which stories they will run. We explored the different types of current events that are happening in New Zealand, thought about why the story made the news and plotted the location on a google map. Here are the reasons of each news we placed on our Google Maps. 
  • Timeliness
  • Magnitude
  • Relevance
  • Unexpectedness
  • Impact
  • Positive Reference
  • Negative Referance
  • Oddity
  • Conflict
  • Continuity
  • Emotions
  • Progress
