Overview
In this activity, students explore how news stories are like puzzle pieces that help us build knowledge to ultimately see the full picture of an issue. Students engage in a group read-aloud activity and listen for details that help them complete their own story puzzles with written information, feelings, and illustrations.
This activity is adapted from a lesson by Emily Otten, a Pulitzer Center Teacher Fellow and elementary school teacher.
