Description

In this lesson, from the New York Times Learning Network, students examine the rhetorical structure of a New York Times editorial. In pairs, they select and discuss a news article from that day's newspaper to use as the basis for an editorial. Then students use it as a model for writing their own editorials based on a current news article.
