Newspaper Links

Hi Grade 5s,

Here are the links to the newspapers we will be using for our newspaper project:

Toronto Star - http://www.thestar.com/

Globe & Mail - http://www.theglobeandmail.com/

Toronto Sun - http://www.torontosun.com/

Metro - http://www.metronews.ca/toronto

National Post - http://www.nationalpost.com/

I've also included a copy of the newspaper project assignment outline, as well as the example summary I wrote.  You can find those files in the column on the left called "Useful Documents".

See you tomorrow!

-Ms. Lewis.

  2. Hi Yesehak,

    This is a Canadian news article, as it's about a Canadian hockey team.

  7. Hi Tommy,


    Thanks to you and your mom for that information about the Greek gods and goddesses! Sounds like you're ready for our unit to begin.

    See you tomorrow,

    Ms. Lewis.

  9. Hi Tommy,

    Do you mean you're having trouble finding the date in an article (the "When" part)?

    If so, send me a link to the article (if possible), and I'll take a look!

    Ms. Lewis.

  13. Hi Tommy,

    Please find your article on the left hand side, under the title "Useful Documents".

    I hope that helps!

  14. If an article is about Ontario, for this project, we're considering that local news. Canadian news stories need to be about a province OTHER than Ontario.

    -Ms. Lewis.

  15. Tommy,

    I forgot to mention that you can type right on the website you get to after clicking on "Tommy - Your article".

    If you like, you can send me what you've typed, and I'll take a look.

    -Ms. Lewis.

  16. But Ms.Lewis why do thy care if he gets heart surgery other people get it too

  17. what is the premier?

    tommy

  18. Hi Tommy,

    The issue in the article wasn't that he HAD heart surgery, but that he went to the States to get it, when he could have had it here in Canada. There's a story there that isn't being told yet.

    The premier of a province is the head honcho of the province. Just like the "boss" of Toronto is our mayor (David Miller), and the "boss" of Canada is our Prime Minister (Stephen Harper), the premier is the "boss" of the province. In Ontario, our premier is Dalton McGuinty.

    Hope that helps!

    -Ms. Lewis.
