Writing News Stories

What’s happening? The news will tell you! You can make headlines of your own by writing the news.

Write a news story to report on an important event. For example, you might tell about a field trip your class took. Or you might write a human-interest story that touches people’s hearts. One student provided tips to help others communicate with a hearing-impaired friend.

Expressing Opinions

You might even write a letter to the editor to give your opinion about an important topic. For example, you may think the soccer field should be open for recess. Expressing an opinion helps you make changes in the world!
