    This is a journalism unit for 10th grade English classes. The culminating activityor each of my 10th grade English classes is to produce a newspaper using MicrosoftPublisher. The unit provides a variety of activities and many opportunities to integratereading, writing and speaking as part of the project. Many of the activities will beconducted in cooperative groups and will need computer technology to complete them.he series of activities that will lead to the culminating activity can be adapted to many grade levels. Sections of the unit can be separated and be adapted for different objectives. For example, part of the unit will provide the opportunity to have an authentic audience because some portions of the students’ research into their neighborhood will be placed on the school web site. This lesson could be used alone, with or without computer technology to teach students to write a report, learn nterviewing skills, accuracy in reporting, and even something about libel. Other parts ofthe unit will involve reading newspapers on and off line. This part of the lesson can also be used alone to provide the basis for teaching the reading of non-fiction. In this unit students will write news reports, editorials, and literary non-fiction. Any one can be taught separately or as part of a project. This type of project in its entirety provides many avenues for students to demonstrate their ability to meet many reading, writing, and speaking standards in a standards based curriculum or meet many objectives in aliterature based curriculum.
