Newspaper headlines - telling broadsheets from tabloids.

Ideally you need a news item that is covered by all the papers.

First of all learners need to discuss what they think the differences are between a broadsheet and a tabloid.
It may be useful to model an example of two headlines covering the same topic from a broadsheet and a tabloid.

Now ask learners to sort your headlines into broadsheet and tabloid headlines.  They should discuss why they have made the decisions that they have made and how the use of language and approach to the news differs.
