In class we brainstormed all the many components of a newspaper, and then divided them up. Your child should know what he/she selected (weather, birth announcement, ad, etc.) We have had some class time to work on this, and students will get more time this week. Friday is a PA Day, so we’ll make the assignment due after the weekend.

Remember, just like in a real newspaper, space is at a premium. Don’t use a font larger than 10. We will be photocopying the paper in black and white, so don’t use coloured items, as they won’t copy well. Outlined items copy best. Here are some samples from previous years.
