Billionaire Boy - Lesson 12 - Planning Worksheet

In Lesson 12 of the 'Billionaire Boy' English Teaching Resources, students are challenged to step into the shoes of a reporter tasked with crafting a front-page newspaper story. The subject of their article is the peculiar tale of Mr. Spud's invention: a toilet paper that, quite astonishingly, turns bottoms purple. With just 20 minutes to plan their approach, students must harness the fundamentals of journalism by considering the '5 Ws': Who is involved in the story? When did the events take place? Where did everything happen? Why did Mr. Spud create such a product? What exactly is the product and what does it do?

To organise their thoughts and prepare for writing the article, students are provided with a table to jot down their notes corresponding to each of the '5 Ws'. This structured planning worksheet is a pivotal step in the creative process, ensuring that the students cover all essential information and present a coherent and engaging story. They are encouraged to think critically and imaginatively about the details surrounding Mr. Spud's unusual invention, setting the stage for a compelling narrative that is sure to capture the attention of their readers.
