These two projects work together to form an outline for my curriculum. Content from the core curriculum is used as the basis for the newspaper articles that all students are required to write.
Students then work in teams to edit and produce the paper.
Special activities are planned for students who have earned and saved up enough money to participate. Each morning students can go to the bank and deposit money in their accounts. They must keep a running balance of their account on both paper and on a computer data base. In the afternoon students work on various aspects of the class newspaper. I hope that we will learn a lot from this project and that you will grow from the experience.
