Learning About the Parts of a Newspaper

 We participate in the Newspaper In Education (NIE) program through our local newspaper, Daily Jefferson County Union.  This program is great!  We receive one newspaper each day and we are able to learn about things happening in our community.  We also use the newspaper to brainstorm ideas for what we should include in The Luther Scoop.  A group of fourth grade reporters thought of lots of great ideas for what we should include in our newspaper. 

The 4th grade reporters brainstorm ideas for The Luther Scoop.

Some of our ideas were to include interviews, photographs, weather reports, comics, and even advertisements.  We also brainstormed different ideas for stories.  Some of our story ideas included writing about daily activities at Luther, field trips, special assemblies, mileage club and fitness club, new teachers, new students, and all kinds of other interesting things happening at Luther each month.

 We love the Daily Union! 

We are all excited to start writing our first stories for The Luther Scoop!
