Aspire Generation - Examining Local Media to Identify Community Issues

This lesson is part of the Aspire Generation English Unit. Students consider what issues face their local community or region. They will work in pairs to read, watch and analyse news media texts to identify sub-issues, perspectives, challenges and the impact of the issue on local people. Students then prepare a brief presentation for the class in which they share their findings, offer their insights and possible ways to address the issues examined.
