Stop Press!

Home |  Back to Modern Languages |  Back to French | Stop Press! Sample


Creative Writing Tasks for French. This program simulates the Editor’s desk of a busy national newspaper. It is the students’ task to complete an article by the time the paper goes to press. News stories and updates arrive thick and fast. These updates will change the students’ perception of the issue and must be incorporated into the article by the time the deadline is reached. This program provides the outline of 15 different news stories - Les pirates de l’air, Coupe du monde - scandale! On détruit nos fôrets, Incendie au 32ème étage, etc. Each story addresses major issues in GCSE and A Level Syllabuses. In addition to developing students’ writing skills, it teaches them to handle a large volume of information in a limited period of time. The program requires minimal teacher input, although it is easy to edit the content of the stories and control the timing of the updates, etc, through a simple menu. Teachers can also create their own outline stories.
