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 />

similar to and different from a news article. Be sure to edit and practise reading your article. Then perform<br />
your news segment to the class or record your segment using a video or digital camera.<br />
