The ReadWriteThink Printing Press is an interactive tool to help you and your students design a newspaper, brochure, flyer or booklet. You can choose the format, the colours, the font types and size, and a few more possibilities. Cool!
THE NEWSPAPER
If you'd like students to read short simple news articles on various topics, have a look at The Newspaper. It aims to support the teaching of English, Literacy and Citizenship in UK schools, but most stories can be used elsewhere. Very nice resource!
