Of Mice and Men Newspaper Project TASK: The newspaper you work for has assigned you to create a four page newspaper related to the characters, setting, themes, and plot of the novel Of Mice and Men. As you write articles for your newspaper, you need to be conscious of your audience and the time period in which you’re reporting. These elements are crucial to the success of your project.
PROCEDURE: You must complete all jobs described for your newspaper project. You will be graded on each section individually and as a finished complete product.
Each newspaper MUST include:
An original title with a colorful logo or graphic: It should reflect something about the novel. Be creative!!
Date, volume, and number: under the title, which is relevant to the book’s setting
Index: article titles and the page numbers they can be found on, placed on page one in the bottom right corner
Page numbers: marked on each page (outside upper corner)
Headlines and bylines for each article
Graphic and/or photo: each article will include some sort of graphic and/or photo with a caption that explains it.
Each article should first be written as an essay in MS Word and then formatted into columns as necessary. Writing should be typed in 12 point font.

The tasks that will be included in your newspaper are as follows:
A. Current Events Section: (include at least one appropriate photo/graphic) To begin this project, you must research America in the 1930’s during the Great Depression.
