Joyful Learning: Encourage creativity and engagement by having students create their own news item.

1. Warm-Up (10 minutes)

Activity: Discussion - What Makes a News Story?
- Begin by asking students what they think makes a good news story.
- Ask questions like:
  1. What do you usually see in a news article?
  2. Where do you get your news?
  3. How do you decide if a news article is important or not?
- Allow students to discuss and share their thoughts.
Purpose:

Engage students in mindful learning by reflecting on their own experience with news and media. This allows them to make connections between their lives and the lesson.

2. Introduction to News Item (15 minutes)

Activity: Understanding the Structure of a News Item
- Provide a simple news article (could be a real-world example or one created for the class) and break it down into parts:
  1. Headline: The title or main point of the story.
  2. Orientation: The introduction, where the key information (who, what, where, when, why, and how) is introduced.
  3. Events: The sequence of events or details of the story.
  4. Sources: Quotes or references from people involved or experts that support the story.
Example:
Headline: “School Wins National Robotics Competition”
Orientation: “A group of students from XYZ School has recently won the prestigious National Robotics Competition held in Jakarta last week.”
Events: “The team, led by 15-year-old student, John Doe, competed against 50 other schools and developed a robot that can perform complex tasks...”
Sources: “We are extremely proud of our students,” said Mr. Ahmad, the school principal.
Purpose:

Introduce the structure of a news item and help students recognize how each part plays a role in delivering the story clearly and objectively.

3. Group Activity: Create a News Item (15 minutes)

Activity: Writing a News Item
- Divide students into small groups and assign them a topic to write a news item about. Possible topics include:
  - A school event (e.g., sports day, charity event)
  - A local or international news event (students can choose from recent headlines or come up with a fictional event)
- Each group should create a headline, write the orientation, describe the events, and include at least one source or quote (they can make it up if it’s a fictional event).
Purpose:

Encourage meaningful learning by having students write about a topic they can relate to (e.g., a school event).
Promote collaborative learning by having students work together to structure and organize their news item.

4. Presentation and Feedback (10 minutes)

Activity: Group Presentations
- Ask each group to present their news item to the class. After each presentation, ask other students to give feedback:
  - Was the headline clear and engaging?
  - Did the orientation answer the basic questions (who, what, when, where, why)?
  - Did the events follow a logical sequence?
  - Was there a source or quote to support the story?
Purpose:

Encourage joyful learning by allowing students to showcase their work and receive positive feedback.
Reinforce the importance of clear and structured writing in news reporting.

Formative Assessment:

Ongoing observation during group discussions and activities.
Provide feedback on the clarity of their headline, the completeness of their orientation, the coherence of their events, and the inclusion of a valid source.

Summative Assessment:

Written News Item: Students will write their own news item on a topic of their choice. This will be submitted as homework or in the next class. The news item should include a headline, orientation, events, and sources.

- Ask students to reflect on the lesson.
  - How did you feel about writing your own news item?
  - What did you learn about the structure of a news item?
  - Why do you think it’s important for news to be written clearly and objectively?
- Encourage students to continue observing how news is reported in their daily lives.
