Aim: How can we research and write our new assignment, a news related feature about the NY Giants possibility of getting into the playoffs?
Do Now: Review- what is a news related feature?
What did the NY Post article say about the Giants turning point game against the Cowboys last weekend?
The News-Related Special Feature – Stories that report on information about the team that is already in the news. Is the football team playing in the district championship? Will the head baseball coach return or retire? News related features tell the whole story behind the team’s success
Remember, this article is an overview of the team’s season, so far.
Do research and take notes (on paper or on a Word doc.) that will illustrate everything from the template from yesterday:
News Related Article Template
Lead- Must contain the 5 W’s and one H. Must be exciting and interesting and state the purpose of the article- will the NY Giants make the playoffs?
Body paragraphs- (This is your chance to be creative) an overview of the NY Giants season, so far. This is sports journalism, so it can be opinionated, it should be in your unique voice and from a fan’s perspective.
The body paragraphs should be fact based, filled with stats, and all other pertinent information that relate to what our assignment is- how did the Giants get this point in week 14 of their season?
You should mention key players, key games, key stats, you can have quotes from coaches and players.
In your last paragraph, sum up your overview of the season and you can even state your opinion or hope for their chances of winning.
Take 10 minutes and do your research about the NY Giants season, so far.
Now we need to do some internet research to get an overview of the NY Giants season, up until week 14. Which games did they win? Which did they lose? Who were the key players? What were the key games? Injuries? We need stats, we need quotes from players and coaches.
Then we will write the lead together as a class.

Today we are going to further practice the writing of an informative feature by researching why these two teams always play on Thanksgiving. We will also include the fact that since 2006, there is another game played at night. Why was this tradition added?
We will quickly do some reliable research
We will assemble our research, analyze it, and write a very brief informative feature.
This would be a small blurb in the paper, or a side bar for a website.
Q: Who can discuss what are the components of an informative feature?
You can work by independently, or with the partner that you wrote your last informative feature with, if you prefer
(5 min.)
Let’s start by doing our research, everyone open up Safari and then Google.
Start with the basic question: Why do The Detroit Lions and The Dallas Cowboys always play on Thanksgiving?
Write down the important information in your notebooks, as if you were a reporter. You can also copy and paste the internet address, so you can access it later.
(12 min. research)
Okay, now let’s utilize what we’ve discovered with a strong lead.
Let’s write the lead together: Everyone write down the class lead as a class. Let’s all participate in creating the lead. Brainstorm for two minutes ideas that come to mind from Thanksgiving and the research that you just did.
Elicit students to write the lead as a class (10 min.)
