Comment by [|Terri Adams] on February 10, 2010 at 7:22pm This year, I started a newsletter project with my 4th graders using Microsoft Publisher. I'm a K-5 technology teacher and have all my students M-Th and then each class rotates on a 3-week schedule on Fridays. My 5th graders create their own web pages but I was struggling to come up with an ongoing project for my 4th graders. Our elementary school doesn't have a newspaper so I thought this would be a good writing project. Every three weeks, my Friday Fourth Graders are assigned a section of the newsletter and must conduct interviews, take pictures, research information, compose and proofread their article before publication. Here is our latest edition which we post on our website.
