Activity Description
Children enjoy sharing their thoughts, ideas and opinions in talking with others. Encourage them to write these down and more to share in a neighborhood newspaper!

This activity will help children use their writing and communication skills as they create a newspaper that they compose and share with others.
This activity was modified from the ReadWriteThink lesson plan "Our Classroom: Writing an Owner's Manual."
