News Report: Traveling

News Report

News reporters are journalists who travel to different
locations to research a topic. Then, they report what
they have learned to an audience, either in a speech
or in writing.

Refer back to the article “Korea: Past and Present.”

How has Korean culture changed from the past to
the present? Is there anything that has stayed the
same?
You will create the following:

Venn diagrams that
compare past and present
Korean culture

A news report that
describes the changes
that have taken place
You will complete two steps:
1.
Create three Venn diagrams that compare and
contrast Korean clothing, homes, and
transportation of the past and present.
2.
Write a news report by pretending that you have
gone back in time to see what Korean culture was
like long ago.

NOTE: If you would like to include more information in your news report, you may do
additional research on Korean culture. Refer to the PBL website for extra online articles.
Step 1: Make Venn diagrams.

Complete the Venn diagrams with information from
the article “Korea: Past and Present.”

To complete a Venn diagram, fill in the left and right
sides of the diagram with information about each
topic.

Information that is similar or shared between the two
topics goes in the middle where the two circles
overlap.
Step 1: Make Venn diagrams.

Look at the example below about bats and birds.

BIRDS
BOTH

Step 2: Write a news report.

Pretend that you are a news reporter who has gone
back in time to see what Korean culture was like in
the past.

Write a news report about Korean clothing, Korean
homes, or Korean transportation.

A good news report is creative, informative, and
interesting. Your news report must include an
introduction, middle, and ending. Use the writing
guide on pg. 22 to help you write a news report.
Presentation Tips

Create a larger copy of your Venn diagram to use during
the presentation.

Draw or find pictures from the Internet or in magazines
and newspapers to include in your presentation.

Point to certain sections of your Venn diagram during
your presentation so that the audience knows what you
are talking about.

Write out your report on small cards that you can refer to
during your presentation.

Practice your presentation ahead of time so that you
become familiar with your report and the expressions that
you will use.
