Write a page of a newspaper or magazine!
TASK: Well folks, something different today. Your task is to do research for an article in a magazine or blog. Decide on the sort of news you are looking for: Business, Sports, Health, Music, Technology or other. Concentrate on the w-questions (what, where, when, why, who).

The basic idea is to write an article for your classmates. So you should pick out something interesting or surprising, shorten, simplify and rewrite the real article in your own words; maybe add vocabulary explanations.
Alternative: A short presentation with a Smartboard or PowerPoint (max. 2 slides).

You can invent funny fake news if you like. Or quiz questions.
