Assignment: In a new blog titled "Other high school newspapers" answer the following:

1. What is your favorite newspaper front page? Why? 
2. Which paper immediately grabbed your interest? Why? 
3. What is your favorite headline from that newspaper? Why are you interested in it? 
4. How many stories are on the front page of your favorite? 
5. What do you notice that all newspaper front pages have in common? Look at design, size of photos, size of story text, etc.
6. What are things that vary (or are different) on the front pages of different newspapers? Look at design, size of photos, size of headlines, etc. 
7. Were these similar to what you saw last class when you looked at daily newspapers from around the world?

Photos, Captions, Stories)

Look up the following terms and give me a working definition of the word. Please make sure you associate the term with newspapers. You may need to put the word newspaper in the search engine (especially for some of them which have alternate meanings). Put the answers on your blog
