CREATING A SCHOOL NEWSPAPER
Stage 1 - PLANNING:
Discussing the format; the name; the audience; the newspaper sections; the layout;
Stage 2 - WRITING DRAFTS
Each section will have different types of tasks. For example, students who need to interview people will have to
write interview questions. Some students may be drawing or writing comic strips. Some may need to review
other newspapers or written sources for information to write about. Some may need to collect information
about local events. It is very important that students write their own material and not copy something from the
Internet
Stage 3: MAKING CORRECTIONS TO THE DRAFT
Students can get some feedback from other students or their teachers / discussing the contents; suggesing
corrections in vocabulary or grammar/. Students should be encouraged to do as much rewriting as possible.
Stage 4: COMPILING THE NEWSPAPER
