Newsletter: Day 3


Last class you worked on your articles for your newsletter. Today please continue to complete #5 below: (each partner should complete approx. 2 pages of the 4 page newsletter. Please include your name after (or before) the headline to indicate you wrote that article.
  • 1. Decide on the kind of newsletter/magazine you would like to work on with your partner. 
  • 2. Brainstorm some names for the magazine/newsletter. Titles usually help a prospective reader find and identify the kind of magazine he/she would like to read.
  • 3. Brainstorm some potential article ideas. Write these ideas down in your journal!
  • 4. Create headlines for your article ideas. These should be short and intriguing titles. Be creative!
  • 5. If you have brainstormed at least 5 story ideas and titles, you may begin writing the articles. Make up details or conduct research as you see fit, but above all: be detailed and creative! 
  • 6. If you get stuck, read these instructions again, and brainstorm new ideas.
  • 7. A TIP: You and your partner should work TOGETHER, side by side, if need be, by BOTH opening a template file and working on separate pages. Help each other out if one of you is stuck, bounce ideas off each other, but MOVE TOWARD COMPLETION of the project.
Most newspaper/newsletter/magazine articles interview or have short quotes from participants. Newspaper articles answer: whowhatwherewhenhow, and why? about a particular event.

DO NOT WASTE TIME IN THE LAB! Get your work done first!

HOMEWORK: Continue reading the novel you selected.
