Homework Due January 7

Using the information and citations that you wrote in your kidblog post about the historical event, write 2 short articles (5-10 sentences each). Each one should be made up of the statements you wrote in kidblog, with connections linking each statement. If you want to find a picture, either of your historical event, or of something that represents the event, cite that as well. (See “citing an online image”)

Choice 1: Create a newspaper template on Word. Start with a landscape layout of a blank page. Insert a header. In your header, put your newspaper title (a subtitle, if you want one) and a big headline about your historical event. It can be witty (funny) or factual. Your newspaper title can be font size 45, and your headline can be up to 50, if you want. Put the date in the header as well. Make the font of the newspaper title and the headline look like a real newspaper! The date and subtitle font size should both be 12 or smaller. Double click beneath the header to be able to type on the rest of the page. Under page layout, make your page 3 columns. In 1 of the columns, you may put a small picture, surrounded by text. The other two should be entirely text, including your two short articles and your works cited, in the same format that you did your works cited on your blog post. <span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Print your newspaper article. Hand it in. See sample newspaper below

Choice 2: Use the header to make your headline, but don't use columns. Make an announcement to go up in the town square about your historical event. Put your two paragraphs together on the paper. Use borders and illustrations to fill out the announcement.

Make sure you include your works cited from the kidblog post.

2. Find information about an historical event. It can be a natural disaster, a presidential election, a battle, or any other historical event you can think of. Use at least 2 sources. Your sources can be books, websites, articles, or any site you trust because you can find information about the people/organization who publishes them. In a kidblog post, list 10 things you learned about that historical event in full sentences. Include the sources, __**properly cited**__. For help, see the handout from class or the link on the side of this page called "Useful Citation Tips."
