English sports journalism club structure/planning session/lesson. Engage secondary students with non-fiction writing through their interest in sport (such as football, soccer, rugby, tennis, cricket).
In this non-fiction writing lesson, students use their research homework to plan and write out the topics of their opinion piece on the question: who is the greatest sportsman/sportswoman/sportsperson of all time?
Having previously written out short headlines and straplines for their own articles on their favourite sports stars in the previous lesson, as well as exploring models of opening and closing sentences for non-fiction articles, students now analyse a model opinion piece on Lionel Messi and look at how the writer has structured the article and its topics.
They then use this model and subsequent analysis to create their own list of topics, before writing out a draft opinion piece article.
Students will then type up and edit/redraft/rewrite their articles in the next lesson.
This exciting resource for KS3 and KS4 students could be used for an after school or lunch time club, with students exploring non-fiction writing and combining their love of sports with English learning.
Throughout the club sessions, we will be covering opinion pieces, reports, match reports, preview articles, interviews and more.
The club provides exciting opportunities for cross-curricular links, through English, PE, Physical Education, Computing, IT, other clubs and more.
Students could also use their writing as part of a school newspaper, newsletter, blog or magazine.
