Project Description: Let each of your students become their own reporter and editor by researching and writing their own newspaper! It’s a great way to recap what they have already studied in all of their major subjects including, math, reading,writing, social studies, science and health.

Materials needed per student• 2 large grocery bags• Packing tape• Scissors• Newspaper templates

Place two grocery bags side by side, with the bottom flap faced upward.

Use packing tape to tape the bags together front and back. Make sure that the bags do not overlap. You almost want a little gap between the bags.

Fold the bag over and cut a small strip (no bigger than ½ cm in width) along the entire bottom side of both bags and long side of the bag (oppositethe side you taped). This will open the bags up.
