​Activities to try at home

 

1. Pick a favourite TV show, sports team or celebrity and make a paper about this. Pick your sources carefully and look through the finished paper, deleting anything that isn't useful or interesting.



2. Think of a topic that you could learn about as a family. If you can, make it personal to your family - for example it could be your cultural heritage, a historical event that was linked to your family or any shared interest, from food to film! Make a paper that's published weekly. Each week sit and read through it together and talk about what you've discovered.

​

3. Use the site to raise the topic of how reliable information is that you find online. Make a paper on a controversial subject - something where there's a debate, or for and against arguments. Very quickly pick some sources for a newspaper. Then look through the finished paper and discuss the articles - are they mostly facts or opinions? What's true and what's not?
