 * A picture with a caption (if you have access to the internet the picture is already provided for you—if you do not, you are drawing a similar picture)

 * Answer all of the 5 W’s plus H

 * Assignment Components**
 * Pre-Write: Use newspaper outline #1 or #2 to create your pre-write
 * 1st Draft: Conference while writing this
 * Self-Edit: Using the markers, make changes to your paper
 * Final: You may hand write it and give me one stapled with your log and 2nd draft. Or print it and give me one regular one, and one using this generator: http://www.fodey.com/generators/newspaper/snippet.asp and save the image to your desktop and print that. This makes it look like a real newspaper article. Follow the instructions on my website explaining how to use the generator.
