EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING the different formats and purposes of newspaper articles, formal letters, opinion articles, and interviews.

This week we're diving into the world of journalism! We'll be exploring the structure of a newspaper article and discovering what makes a headline truly hīkaka (eye-catching). We'll also be thinking about how to choose the perfect image to accompany our stories.
