The Teacher's guide contains seven lesson plans integrating slides and transparencies with other class activities to provide knowledge and understanding of the newspaper. The lesson topics are: the four purposes of the newspaper, fact and opinion, the front page, basic structure of news story, the blind ad and the public ad, the novelty lead, and the travels of a daily newspaper. The lesson objectives, descriptions of the accompanying slides or transparencies, and suggested student activities are presented for each of the lessons. Masters for the transparencies used in five of the lessons are included in the guide; slides are available for the remaining two lessons. A glossary of basic newspaper terms and a bibliography for the teacher conclude the guide. (RG)
