NEWSPAPER
WORKSHEET
Dear Students,
Please read ALL the information on
this page BEFORE you start the assignment.
This lesson will take up the hour that we are in the computer laboratory today and, if you do not finish your work by the end of the lesson, you are asked to complete it at home. Alternately, check the open hours of the school computer laboratory and finish it in your own time. It must be finished by the date on the calendar.
Open an MS Word document, give it the
heading “Newspaper Assignment” and save it (on W) under your name. You are
going to do all your written work on this page.
When you have finished, submit this work
electronically to me at [email protected] or, if you do not have this option, print it out and
give it in to me by the date given.
Section 1:
Go
to www.jpost.com and search for an article about the
current situation in Israel. If you do not find one, scroll down to search in
the other stories lower down.
Section 2:
Go
to www.cnn.com and read an article about the same incident that was
reported in the Jerusalem Post. I suggest you open this link in a new window in
order to view both articles at the same time.
Section 3:
1. Using WORD summarize each
article under its own headline (copy and paste from the article) in no more
than 10 lines. You must also give the date of the newspaper where you found the
article.

each reporter sympathizes? Give examples and quotes from the text to

between the points of view of these two newspapers. Your answer should be
between 80 to 100 words. What difference do you think it makes if you read one
newspaper or the other? Explain your reasoning.

Print
out your finished work, which is to be given in for marking.
