PART A: CREATE SKELETON NEWS WEBSITE
Go to Weebly.com. Create an account. Choose a template that seems appropriate for a news website. Listen to instructions from your teacher as to how to build the website. ASK if you have questions.
PART B: Create title for New Website
What will you call your news website? What sort of name communicates credibility and professionalism? What's memorable?
Part C: NEWSPAPER ROLES
You will be in a team of three. Each of you will choose to complete one of the three assigned tasks. Each task has it's own rubric. The teacher will grade each rubric. The rubrics will be averaged together to determine your grade on this project. It is highly recommended that you serve as editors to each other.
Part D: Saving the work as you go and completing the Project
- Only one student can work on a task page at a time, which is why each student should choose a different task to be in charge of.
- As you work on your page, you'll see an orange publish button. This is what updates your page for your teachers to see. USE IT AFTER MAKING CHANGES.
- When your teams entire project is complete, hit publish one last time. Then email your teacher and let them know your project is ready to be graded!
