Students in three of my 7th Grade classes wrote several news articles for our new student newspaper, Dragon Media News! Below is a digital copy of the newsletter! You will be using your website to showcase 18 years of journalism. Create a new blog page on your website. You will have a new blog post for each year (1994-2012). In each post, you will highlight a few of the biggest headlines of that year. Some will be required. Others you will be able to choose which stories to cover. You will use the Flocabulary Youtube Video found on my website as a reference for this project. In each post you need to have a LINK to the story that you read, a 6 sentence summary of what happened, a 5W and 1H write up, and an Inverted Pyramid list.
