EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it! Some of the students in the fourth grade WIN block are building digital newspapers. Together we are learning about layout and design, story telling, and a boat load of digital tools to help build the paper. Students are each responsible for the items below that we identified in our first team meeting. Each student will work off of this list whether they collaborate with others or work independently. Group efforts will result in more pages for their paper. Stay tuned to learn what these young reporters have to say!
If you have an idea for an article, let us know by emailing here. No promises, I will have to run it by the team for consideration. :-)
