When the project is complete, encourage the students to tell stories about the pictures they have chosen. Have them think about and create the details surrounding the event, not just the event itself. The montages are great projects to showcase during open house or open classroom. Have players create tall tales of their own. The details of the story should be realistic enough to believe but the story itself should be made up.
Award prizes such as a fake long nose.
Have the reporters gather information, conduct interviews, and craft stories surrounding the newsworthy events. These news reports can be incorporated into the morning announcements over the school intercom, with the students telling the news. Have the students write a two page story about events and things important to them in their lives. Decorate the boxes or tubes with newspaper clippings, magazines photos, or their own drawings. Then hold a ceremony.
