Addie,
It's great meeting you (albeit digitally). Your store looks terrific!!! You got quite a following . . . I'm your 1009th follower. Would LOVE any pointers you have to offer.
Enjoy BC . . . I was there years ago on a cross-continent drive . . . Is there anywhere more beautiful in the summer?
Have a great one!

Awesome freebie! Thanks! I did not realize you were from Canada (I've seen your name come up several times on forums in regards to being a top seller). I'm from MB...not a lot of Canadians compared to Americans so when I hear of a Canadian top seller it's very motivating! I'm slowly but surely plugging away! Good luck in your continued sales! - Shey (aka Classroom Sparrow)

Awww... thanks! Glad to see more Canadians jumping on board! Good luck!

I really liked the quality and thorough use of time and space. You really included a lot in this freebie, and didn't skimp on it at all. I am also glad you include a rubric. I think they are a good way to inform students of exactly what you expect, so there are no surprises. I'm brand new to TpT, and still haven't loaded any products yet. I will get there, I just want it to be ready before I load anything. Trying to put more into the appearance of my products.

Thanks so much for sharing this! I was planning to have my 4th and 5th graders create a newspaper from space (our school theme this year) next week, and this is exactly what I need. Great job!

I teach computers and previously taught math. It is hard for me to teach the children the writing component that goes along with the computer programs. I will use this format when teaching Publisher this year. Great job.

I really like this format, and will attempt to use it as an introduction activity for my grade 9 students to practice, before writing their 'To Kill a Mockingbird' news articles I usually give. The assignment sheet really 'hits home', the idea that it is MORE than just a news article - it needs to LOOK like a newspaper!

Is there a way that you can change this into a .doc so that my students can use it in a computer work station or in the computer lab and not have to hand write in it? I can only seem to save it as a pdf. It looks WONDERFUL and I'd love to use it with my kids! Thanks for posting and being willing to do so for FREE! :) LOVE it!

Addie Williams (TpT Seller)
Hi - I can send you a copy of the templates in a word doc.. the kids can then type into the templates on the computer. If you e-mail me at Addie_Education@yahoo.com - I'll send them to you.
