Newspaper Templates

Extranewspapers

 

I often get  students to write newspaper articles in relation to various topics covered in class! It is great to see this work in a newspaper, I find this handy, and easy to use, Word newspaper template resource useful for this purpose.  It includes a number of different templates that can be edited to suit  purpose and taste!

This is an example of one of the templates:

 

 

 

This was the haunting picture of an Afgan girl which appeared on the cover of the National Geographic June 1985.  It is a great picture for use as an aid in creative writing.

This is as she is today and the story of the girl whose  eyes have captivated the world since she appeared on that cover is told here .   Good use can also be made of the above photo for discussion, creative writing, her story is good for reading/comprehension and finally comparisons between student writng and her true story can be made and discussed!!

STORYBOARD

Comic strips for the classroom!  

Examples above and here show how they are used to explain conflict in literature. 

Have a go on Storyboard That!!

Posters, Comic Strips, Newspapers

This is a great resource for creating posters, comic strips and newspaper.  Would be useful for many subjects!
