Students work on developing editing skills. Students work on information-gathering skills. Students learn to use non-standard ClarisWorks functions, like banners, headings and columns. Students learn to use computer accessories. Indicators Students develop a two column newspaper as a class.
Students use texts, graphics, libraries, scanners to produce newspaper.
Precomputer Students are assigned to research, from two sources, one of the figures from the story. They get the character randomly, by drawing from a hat. Actually, this could be done with any myth or collection of myths that students read as a class. The students have already written and edited the article or entries they have for the newspaper. By having student editors, I remove myself totally from the process, making this a student-run and produced paper.
