GOAL: Have all 4 articles completed by Monday morning

Create a 2 page newsletter. The newsletter should include the following:
1) A creative header, with title, date, and issue
2) 3-column format

Articles
------------------
The four articles must fall into the following categories:
1) Sports or other recent activity that you were involved in (remember the news should be timely)
2) An interview with an adult. Ask and publish an article with 4-6 questions (similar to the sample I showed in class). The questions should focus around a single topic.
3) An article from the pregnancy survey with at least one graph.
4) A review, either book, movie, or even a comic book.

The newsletter will receive two grades, they include:
1) Computer Technology: use of Word - formatting, column layout, inclusion of images, etc.
2) Journalism: quality of layout, selection of topics, interest level of articles, etc.
3) Writing: content and grammar of each article
