Exploring our national current events

This week in reading we explored the different types of these current Eyaka Nidhi and I were finding out different information about NZ current news. This week for writing we learning about PIE, P is for persuading, I is for inform and E is for entertainment and we looked at some news articles that were happening in NZ. We created a Google Map showing where the article took place. We were supposed to find articles that relate to Timeliness which means that is happening right now, Relevance which means a story that happened nearby or is concern to the local in interest, Magnitude which means A story that is great in size of number or a lot of people died, Unexpectedness means something unusual, or something that occurs without any warning, Impact means news that will affect a large number of readers. Reference to someone famous or important means a news about the prominent person, Oddity means a unique situation, Conflict which means a major struggle in the news, Reference to something negative means the bad news sells more than good news, Continuity means a continuation of a story that has been in the news. Emotions mean emotions such as jealousy, love or hate, increase interest in a story and progress which means new hope or new improvements. I had a lot of fun doing this and while doing this I learned what is happening around me.
