NARRATOR: This is a newspaper. Its job is to tell us about things that are happening in the world.
Newspapers always have big writing on the front page. What’s the headline today?
NEWSPAPER:
LION EATS LIONTAMER!
Sorry about that.
NARRATOR:
The headlines are there to grab our attention, so they’re quite loud.
Let’s move onto the more colourful bits.
What’s this?
‘Lion escapes after 10 years in a circus’.
The caption on this picture helps us work out what the picture is showing us, and tells us a bit more about the story.
Most of the pages are taken up with smaller words, and they tell us the full story.
Newspapers have lots of tricks to tell stories in an interesting way, like facts and opinions and the super useful 5 W’s — who, what, why, where and when.
So did they find the lion?
No, I think it’s still…
AAAAAAHHHHH!!!
