Newsletter - The Day You Were Born (3-4 blocks)
To practice design and layout principles of print media, students will create a 3-page newsletter about the events that happened in the world the day they were born. Students will use appropriate software such as MS Word (templates available), MS Publisher, etc.
Students can use the internet to gather articles about events that happened on the day they were born. In order to follow copyright guidelines, these articles should include citations as to where the information was gathered. NOTE: If students are having difficulty finding information for the specific day they were born, they may widen their search to include the entire month of their birth date.
In addition to designing the newsletter, students will incorporate digital images that demonstrate the "basic shots" of digital photography. Students will incorporate a minimum of 3 examples of various "shots".
