Editorial vs. Regular News Article Game (Is it Fact or Opinion Writing?)
- Google Slides™
What educators are saying
Description
In this engaging, self-checking Google Slides game, students gain a valuable skill for interacting with media.
Students are guided to learn the difference between fact and opinion writing—even when the difference is subtle—by reading information about both, then looking at headlines and choosing whether the headlines are for editorials or regular facts-only news articles.
All headlines are from real articles, so students are learning with content that is relevant.
Students are given feedback immediately so they know whether their answer is correct and can adjust their knowledge of the concept as they go. They are also given a “hint” slide that can be accessed at any time and remind them of the difference between an editorial and a facts-only news article.
More detailed instructions are included in the Google Slide.
