Use the facts above to write a newspaper article about the event. Write your article on a separate sheet<br />

of paper. Include an attention-grabbing headline and images, such as maps or photos. Write the most<br />

important facts first. Then add the least important details at the end. Mention or quote your references.<br />

your news segment to the class or record your segment using a video or digital camera.<br />
