Activities for ESL Classrooms (Reading): Standard R.9.5 states that a student: Distinguishes between fact and opinion in narrative and expository texts; states and paraphrases main idea and selects important details. Activity: Reading a news article and enumerating factual versus opinion statements. The articles can be read online in the school, sent as homework to read online at home, or printed out and read in groups to minimize printing cost. Resource you can use: Google News www.news.google.com In one website you can find thousands of news articles on every topic imaginable. But whats better you can find articles on the same news by different newspapers. This gives you the flexibility of giving longer or shorter articles depending on student's abilities.
