Produce a school newspaper describing recent school events and achievements, to be sold or distributed to parents and community.
Students produce a school newspaper that describes recent school events and achievements. This newspaper could be sold or distributed to parents, grandparents, and other interest groups.
To begin, students might explore existing newspapers to understand the conventions of this information resource.
Students can brainstorm a range of school events and achievements that could feature in their own school newspaper and select an event or achievement that they would like to write an article about. Students might interview other students, teachers, and/or the principal to gain further information and perspectives for their article. They might also take photographs to accompany their writing.
Once the newspaper articles have been written, students design the layout of their newspaper, creating a newspaper title and headlines for the different articles. When the content has been finalised, formatted, and placed into the newspaper design layout, students can sell or distribute them.
