Different ways to cover the same news story.

Today we will talk about how different newspapers cover the same story. You will be reading a story that was written by just about every newspaper in America, and you will be commenting on the differences between 3 newspapers' coverage.

First read the NYTimes version here.

Next, read Newsday's version of the same story here.

Lastly, read USA Today's version here.

After you've done this, create a T-chart in your notebook comparing the coverage of each newspaper.
