Detective’s Digest

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a visual tool designed to assist students in breaking down a news story or any topic by asking the “5 Ws & How”: who, what, where, when, why, and how. The central image of a newspaper with hands suggests that the exercise is particularly suited for analyzing journalistic content or current events. Each question has its own dedicated space radiating from the center, allowing students to jot down the relevant details as they dissect the information. It’s a structured approach to encourage critical thinking and thorough understanding of the content they are examining.

The worksheet is teaching students to approach a topic or story like a detective, looking for clues to answer key questions that form the full picture. It aims to foster analytical skills by prompting them to consider different aspects of the information they are presented with. This method is essential for comprehensive comprehension and is widely used in investigative fields. Through this activity, students develop a more nuanced approach to reading and research, learning to identify and record crucial information methodically.
