They're also a great platform for students to hone their skills. The nameplate is one of the most noticeable elements of a newsletter. Make yours simple but memorable, preferably with a catchy tagline. Interesting headlines grab your readers’ attention and make them want to read the story. Include the most unique or urgent element in your story to draw your readers in. To go with your headline, choose a photo that is not only striking, but more importantly, tells a visual narrative. Next is the body text. For news stories, put the most important elements at the beginning. However, you don't have to do this for feature stories, where you're allowed to be more creative.

STORY WRITING LEARN HOW YOU CAN TAKE PART! Newspapers with rows and rows of body text can look uninviting to readers. Give their eyes a visual break by using pull quotes. Usually set in bigger font than the body text, it can be used to highlight a key point of the article, or serve as a graphic element. Captions also allow readers to scan through the page. A good caption is short but informative.

The Elementary Flow The School Time Capsule Inside, we also talk about: By Samantha Blackford, Grade 5 Getting to Encourage your students to exercise their creativity by starting a Know New newsletter. While it seems like a daunting project, a student-made Students - 2 newsletter will give your kids firsthand experience in writing, research, planning, management, and design. Start by helping them come up with a goal for their newsletter. Who will read it? What will it be about? Ask for suggestions on what the newsletter should be called, then have them vote on it. Pick their brains for ideas on what they can write about. Consider school events, community activities, or even the things that happen in their classroom. Aside from news articles, they can also feature their own literary efforts. Suggest that they write poems, songs, short stories, and one-act plays. Tell them they can write funny essays and silly jokes, too!

Don't stop at getting contributions from your students. You can get them involved in the actual production of the newsletter, too. Allow them to edit each other's work. Make the students who excel in grammar go through the work of their peers. Lecture on the importance of fact checking, then teach them how to do it themselves. Let them take turns on playing editorial board for each issue, so everyone can learn leadership and responsibility. Design is another area where your students can learn. Give them the freedom to design without making things too complicated. It teaches teamwork and gives them a better appreciation of what each member brings to the table. \"This is a great chance for us to help around the school and our neighborhood while learning new things.\" Volunteer Opportunities By Jeremy Wright, Grade 4 Make your newsletter more creative by encouraging your students to submit their illustrations and photos. Graphics don't just break monotony; it gives your students a venue for their artistic efforts. Encourage them to draw, paint, take photos, or make collages. After they submit their work, ask them to write interesting captions for their submissions, too.
