Pearl Harbor Reporting Answer Key

In this media literacy activity, students examine six historical-style headlines related to the attack on Pearl Harbor. They determine whether each headline is emotional, biased, or factual, then rewrite it to make it sound balanced and journalistically accurate. The task strengthens students’ ability to recognize sensational language and transform it into objective reporting. This worksheet encourages critical analysis of media framing and teaches students how news headlines can influence perception.
