Perfect for fictional summaries or school newspapers, a newspaper project lets students get creative while recounting events. They're easily adapted to fit any subject, from Science to Social Studies to ELA!
Using one of the newspaper templates, students will create the front page of a newspaper. This example uses events from the popular novel, Elijah of Buxton but this project could be used for any book or topic! Like this example, students could recount a particular event in a book for ELA, but they could also create a newspaper project about a current or historical event for Social Studies or a new discovery or innovation for Science class. Students could even create a front page news story from their own imagination!
To pre-plan, the 5 Ws (who, what, when, where, why) are helpful to think about as a guide. Students can write the answers to those questions using a graphic organizer as they gather facts and information.

Requirements:
Toetage iga õpilast, jagades ajalehuprojekti hallatavateks ülesanneteks. Kohandage juhiseid erinevate lugemis- ja kirjutamisoskuste jaoks, et kõik õpilased saaksid enesekindlalt osaleda.
Näidake reaalseid või õpilaste tehtud ajalehe näiteid. Arutelu teemadest nagu pealkirjad, autorid, pildid ja artikkelstruktuur, et õpilased teaksid, mida oma projektidesse lisada.
Demonstrige, kuidas kasutada graafilist korraldajat, et vastata küsimustele kes, mis, millal, kus ja miks. Mõelge valjult, kuidas koguda ja korraldada teavet enne kirjutamist.
Pakkuge lause raame ja pealkirja ideid, et kirjutamise alustamiseks. Julgustage loomingulisust, vähendades takistusi õpilastele, kellele on raske alustada.
Seadistage struktureeritud kaasõpilaste tagasiside sessioone, kus õpilased vahetavad mustandeid. Juhendage õpilasi andma konkreetseid, lahkeid soovitusi pealkirjade ja artikkelide parandamiseks.
A newspaper project is a creative classroom assignment where students design the front page of a newspaper to recount or summarize events. It's adaptable for any subject, including ELA, Science, or Social Studies, and helps students practice writing, summarizing, and critical thinking skills.
To create a classroom newspaper front page, have students pick an event or topic, brainstorm using the 5 Ws (who, what, when, where, why), write a headline, add relevant images or drawings, and write a short descriptive article. Using templates can simplify formatting.
Newspaper projects can be used in ELA (book summaries), Social Studies (historical events), Science (discoveries), or any subject where students need to recount or present information creatively.
Guide students to use a graphic organizer and answer the 5 Ws—Who, What, When, Where, Why—to gather facts. Encourage them to choose compelling events and create headlines that grab attention. Visual brainstorming can also help spark ideas.
Yes, there are newspaper templates and worksheets available to make setup easier. These templates help students format headlines, images, and articles, streamlining the creative process and ensuring all requirements are met.
