One day, your editor shows you a photograph on his computer screen. There is no information with it. She wants you to figure out what was happening in the picture and write a detailed account of the incident. Look closely at every detail as you piece together what might have happened, then write your report on the computer. Click Writing News Articles to print the worksheet for this activity, or provide paper.
Students work together, writing down everything they can find going on in the picture.
These programs are very easy to use yet the product looks very professional. Choose the newspaper article option, create a heading for the article, then type the article.
