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.

Student Instructions:
Requirements:
Podpirajte vsakega učenca z razdelitvijo projekta časopisa na obvladljive naloge. Prilagodite navodila za različne sposobnosti branja in pisanja, da se vsi učenci lahko samozavestno vključijo.
Prikažite resnične ali učence izdelane primere časopisov. Razpravljajte o elementih, kot so naslovi, podpis, slike in struktura člankov, da učenci vedo, kaj vključiti v svoje projekte.
Prikažite, kako uporabiti grafični organizator za odgovore na vprašanja kdo, kaj, kdaj, kje in zakaj. Mislite glasno, da učenci vidijo, kako zbrati in organizirati informacije pred pisanjem.
Nudite okvirne stavke in ideje za naslove, ki bodo spodbudili pisanje. Spodbujajte ustvarjalnost, hkrati pa znižajte ovire za učence, ki težko začnejo.
Uredite strukturirane seje povratnih informacij med vrstniki, kjer si učenci izmenjujejo osnutke. Vodite učence k dajanju specifičnih, spodbudnih predlogov za popravke naslovov in člankov.
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.
