Headline, story or caption? — Story Desk · Free Press
The Alder Hill paper is being laid out, and the printer mixed up all the pieces. Free Press game on MyLeoNes for ages 7–17; invented stories, not real news.
Your task
Is each piece a headline, a story or a caption?
- A headline is short and tells the main point. The story gives the details. A caption explains a picture.
- Invented newsrooms and stories to learn from, not real news. Before sharing anything about real people, ask a trusted adult.
- Never share private details of anyone. Nothing about you is collected.
Score
- How news works — You understood how this part of journalism works.
- Truth & accuracy — You checked the facts before telling them.
- Fair & kind — You were fair to the people in the story.
In real life
Different pieces do different jobs, and most readers look at the headline and picture first.
