They will research their assigned topics with their partners. They will prepare a rough draft of the newspaper feature to present to the other section members. Students will share their rough draft with their other section members for editing and proofreading. Revisions are made and presented to the teacher. Final copies are organized by the students on physical layout within each section.
Students then take turns entering their features into the computer program the teacher has set up.
After printing, students who have been working on cartoons and graphics may paste those or scan them into the computer. Once the class agrees on the entire newspaper's final draft it may be printed and posted outside their classroom and a copy given to the principal. Start the process again after 3 or so weeks. Account for cooperation, participation, rough draft improvement, and final feature quality. A peer evaluation should be included as well.
