Layout Tips

Our goal this week is to layout our first newspaper. Good news! We have more stories than we need in some areas!

Reminder: Write those sports stories!

Tips to Consider:

• Make sure your headline has a strong, active verb.
• Byline is the first line of each story.
• Remember to justify your stories.
• Proof!
• Proof one more time!

Photo Questions:

• Which story will have the dominant photo?
• Has the picture been taken?
• No? Let's make plans!

Advertisements:

• Study ad layouts in other newspapers.
• Create your assigned advertisements.
• Check the contracts to ensure you include all that was requested.

New stories?

• Yes, it is time to begin work on the next batch of stories!
• I will make assignments on Monday.

I hope you have a grand week!
