good/bad news

First off give the students examples of good news and bad news. E.g. Bad news: extra homework, bad weather, car accident, death. Good news: less homework, class finishing early, wedding. After that teach them sentence: “The good news is..., however, the bad news is…..”

After that ask everyone to write 5 good news and 5 bad news. Then collect all the news and put them in the separate pile. Have a student come to the front of the class and choose either a bad news or good news. They then have to read the good/bad news out loud for the class and think of a matching good/bad news.
