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!
