Thursday 3-10-16

I will be out today.  You are to complete a project working in groups of no more than 3.  You are to complete the Front Page of a newspaper filling it with information about the 1920s.  All the instructions can be found by accessing the following link.

Link to Instructions for 1920s Newspaper

The newspaper is to be completed on the 14'X28"poster paper stacked on the back counter.  Be creative using lots of aesthetically pleasing artwork and design.  Remember to plan it out on notebook paper first!  Might be a good idea to do everything on paper and then cut it out and paste it on your poster board.

Have a great day!
