The Five W’s

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Let's take the big W. Scholars analyze the model newspaper article Sandy wreaks havoc across Northeast; at least 11 dead and look to answer who, what, when, where, and why. They work in groups of three to complete a Five W’s web organizer. Groups then review their organizers to determine the angle or main idea of the article and record them on scrap paper.
