Final Project
Task:
To write the Eatonville newspaper the day after Janie comes back to town
You are to work in groups of 4 for this project. You choose your groups
Guidelines:
Your newspaper must contain the following:
15 points -Lead story with relevant photo/picture (350 words)-
10 points -Editorials (at least 2)- 150 words each
5 points -Obituaries (at least 1)- 150 words
5 points -Weather- 150 words
5 points -Sports- 150 words
5 points -Nature- 150 words
5 points -Travel- 150 words
5 points -Business- 100 words
5 points -Comic strip
5 points -Classifieds (at least 5)- 25 words each
5 points -Horoscope for the day- 50 words
5 points -Photography/pictures (at least 4)
10 points -Aesthetic value/ how good the project looks
-Each article must have a headline/title
-Presented on tri-fold poster-board
15 points -Presentation- 10 minutes
-Must read two articles and summarize all others
-Each group member should talk about what they did
-Reflection on the project as a whole
100 points total- I will divide this by two for the grade I put in the grade book (50 pts)
You should be creative with this project. When you write the articles for the newspaper, the author’s name can be yours (as a member of the town), made up, or a character from the book. You choose the topics for the different articles. You make up the name of the paper, the date, et cetera. There is a lot of freedom in this project.
However, be aware that when I read your articles I will be checking for your understanding of the book. With this in mind, your articles should tie in with the themes/what happened in the book.
