Blog Assignment #48: Articles

1.CLASSIFIEDS

Selling, buying, or giving away? This is a perfect place for you and your family to advertise to people you can trust. This is BETTER than Craigslist! Why sell to strangers when you can sell to people you or your child knows?

Selling? Maybe a student has a sibling or parent who's looking. Buying? Vice versa! Your puppy/kitty/hammy/piggy had a couple cutie pies that you can't keep? You know kids always want one. Need help with a project? We can help!

This would be a cool idea because it's original. You only see classifieds in the Sunday Newspaper. Not many kids read that. There's a chance some might not read this one either, but for the ones who do, it'll be great.

It may not be as big a hit as I would imagine, mostly because it's the middle school. But this is something I would love to see in a school newspaper. Why should we exclude the parents though? We can help a lot of people out. Including ourselves if we need too.

2.STUDENT'S BABY PICTURES

Aww! How cute! You haven't changed a bit! Who wouldn't get a kick out of this?

Student's can choose to submit their baby pictures, or a devious friend could do it for them. Kids will be crowding over in our paper to see their classmates as a toddler. I really think this will be a big hit. I mean, why wouldn't it?

It may take a bit of ink, but it's worth it. People will love our newspaper. I believe the rest of this is self explanatory :)

3.WEATHER

I love knowing how cold or hot it's going to be. It will be an interesting tidbit to have on the side of our newspaper. It can also tell us the overall temperature we should look out for and for any rises or drops.

If this was once a week it would be perfect. But, once a month can do fine as well. Instead of doing the weather of what have already passed, we can do it on the following month. Say, temperatures for December.

We can also include if it will snow or not or if there is a chance. When it will rain, when it'll be a perfect day to go and play, or a bad day to go fishing/sports/anything else.

I would love to see this in our newspaper and think everyone else will as well. Let's make our newspaper really a newspaper!
