Introduction
It is time to share your news story
with others and create your own class news
for the ‘New Ways News’. This
is where your individual article becomes
a part of the whole news. If you are limited
with time you and your teacher may decide
to make a focus newsletter on New Ways.
It is important to have a good idea of how
a newspaper or news is made. This website
may help if you are creating a newspaper.

Preparation
 You will plan out as a class, how
you are going to develop the first ever
publication
of ‘The New Ways News’. Are
you happy with the name of the News? Your
class may decide to rename this news feature
to reflect your own new ways message.
You will need to include and create such things
as: a logo/style/font and develop an agreed
design layout. Also how are you going to layout
the articles? … Which article goes where? … Do
you have enough articles? What are the feature
articles? Do they reflect both new foods and
new physical activities and crazes?
Your news should include:
 |
 |
Circulation details |
| |
|
Cost |
| |
|
Date of publication |
| |
|
A banner |
| |
|
A headline |
| |
|
A lead story |
| |
|
Different images
at different sizes |
| |
|
An advertisement |
| |
|
An Index |
| |
|
The agencies main
messages |
You could create a timeline with important
tasks and dates to help your teams meet the
deadlines.
An online timeline generator can be found at:
http://teachers.teach-nology.com/web_tools/materials/bigtimeline
You may find that you need to split into smaller
groups and work further on articles, stories,
information, photos or graphics to fill the
spaces. Your teacher will help you form these
groups. Work as an editing team to put together
the final touches on the ‘New Ways News’.
Consider the overall design and layout. Don’t
forget the importance of setting and sticking
to deadlines!
