home and foreign news stories, feature articles, leaders and comment columns,
readers’ letters, business news, advertisements, TV and radio reviews and
programme schedules, weather reports, crosswords and other readers’
competitions, cartoons, sports pages, review articles, law reports. Spend
10 minutes finding an example of each type of article. Classify and put a name to
each type of article in a newspaper. Spend further 10 minutes looking for any

your lists.
