Headline Of The Day - GIVE Guide

দিনের শিরোনাম

Description

In this short and fun closing activity, students collectively reflect on the session by creating headlines.

In your own words, declare the session as newsworthy and needing a headline. For example: “Today’s class was so eventful, someone could write a news story about it. If that happened, what would the headline be?”
If needed, define what a headline is and share a visual example.
Invite students to take a minute and think of one or two words that would describe the day. It could be an activity, a material, a feeling—whatever word that comes to mind is fine. When students have a word, ask them to let you know by giving a signal.
Invite students to share their words and record them on a chart or whiteboard. Depending on group size you can popcorn, call on students, or, if virtual, have them enter their words into the chat. A word bank of 10 or more words works best.
Ask students to make a headline from the word list. This step can be done individually, in small groups, or collaboratively as a class.
You can provide a sample headline. If you are concerned that students may defer to your sample as the “right” one, use an alternate word bank such as: Creative, Blue, Scissors, Fun, Art, Hard, Sticky, Hungry, Octagon, Cutting, Awesome. For example, “Cutting Blue Octagons Is Hard Creative Fun” or “Sticky Blue Octagons Were Awesomely Hungry.”
Share the headlines. If there is time, this activity can be extended by inviting students to share which one they liked best.

Share your takeaways from the session with the class.

Announce headline(s) in a reporter’s voice, perhaps with a “That’s all for now. Back to you, (teacher’s name).”

Students at desks/tables or in community space. All students should be able to observe you and one another in whatever arrangement makes sense.

Allow ample time for a response when asking questions.
Responses can be communicated verbally, written, signed, or with an augmentative communication device.
Consider providing an illustration of or an actual newspaper that can accompany the definition of a headline.
The word bank words can be written on individual cards so they can be chosen and physically arranged.

Use a whiteboard and/or chat to take notes.
Use the chat for students to submit their words and headline suggestions, or use a word cloud for students to submit words.
