MEDIA



===Media is another form of communication. People seek media through television, newspapers, magazines, internet and radio. media can help ELL students learn to speak, write, read and listen to English. this, like music and videos, can be a quick way for a child to learn English but also learn the meanings of the words through context clues. This will help them understand the English language and to also know what is going on in society.===

=__**News Reporters**__= This activity can be a weekly or monthly thing. Have students get in groups by levels of proficiency. Let them write something about society now in their home village, something in their neighborhood, school or anything going on currently. Students can create a News scene and become News reporters. Students can create a radio station with their own news on celebrities, school, health and so on with music as well. Last but not least, your students can create a website in which they can put new information and news on there. Maybe they can speak about the new gym or all school field trip. These can also tie up with a history class where students can pretend to be in the past and talk about it as if they were there. This is an exciting, creative way to teach ESL students reading, writing, listening and speaking skills.

=__**Newspaper Articles**__= One media, that has lots of information but isn't used as much as TV or internet, is the newspaper. Students should definitely learn how to write in the form of a newspaper. This will help with their writing skills and may even lead to a career they would like to pursue. Show your students examples of newspapers. Point out that there are headlines, authors name, pictures with captions and how to use quotations. then give students topics in which they will write their own newspaper article. here are some templates you can use for your class.
