This is a form students can use to summarize a newspaper article they have read. On the front it asks them to identify heading, subheading, byline, and dateline. It defines these words. It then asks to tell who, what, where and why about the article. On the back of the form they take the information they have gathered on the front and write a summary of the newspaper article. This is a great form for teaching students about reading informational articles and also being able to identify the different parts of a newspaper article.
Fun format to help students find the main ideas and important ideas in a newspaper article. Thanks!

I had used this same idea in my classroom and am delighted to have this sheet already done and looking more professional.

As long as I can remember I have been a creative person. Beginning early on I was always involved in arts and crafts projects at home and in school. At the age of 13 I began more formal training taking varying classes in illustration, commercial art and crafts. At the age of 16 I began on the job training in commercial art. I continued my education at California State University Long Beach receiving a Bachelors Degree in Art. After receiving my Art degree I went to work for an Advertising agency. I began as a graphic designer and worked my way up to an Art Director. After working in an advertising agency for more than 15 years I decided I wanted to do something more worthwhile. I had a teacher who really a positive role model in high school. I began volunteering in her graphic design class working with the students on projects. After volunteering for two years I decided I wanted to go back to school to get my teaching credential. After I received my , I began teaching in middle school. I have taught 6th, 7th and 8th grade Language Arts, Social Studies and Read 180. I have also taught 7th and 8th grade art. After teaching at middle school I moved on to teaching art at the high school level. I teach all levels of art including Art 1, Art 2, Art 3, Art 4, AP, Computer Graphics and Yearbook. I hope to be a good influence and inspiration to my students.
