Welcome to the teachers zone of the Global News website.

These pages provide details of the educational aims of the project and the teaching process that has been adopted.

You will also find details of the Global News classroom activities together with how these activities relate to delivering the national curriculum

There is also a critical eye section which enables teachers and other educators to find out more about how the press and media operate, the news values by which they operate and links to other media education websites.

An INSET promotional poster and Questions and Answers sheet [both in pdf format] provide further useful information on the project.

Finally, we welcome any comments and ideas from teachers, educationalists or those working for the press or in the media. Please visit our feedback page for more details.
