Challenge+3

Congratulations on completing Challenges One and Two! You are well on your way to becoming a professional journalist for the GreenPepper Newspaper!

This is your final task and is the culmination of all the skills you have learnt over the past few lessons. Over the next two lessons, using your chosen Fairytale you must now write your own feature article, choose an appropriate picture to compliment your news story and last (but certainly not least!) create an original and exciting name for the new and improved GreenPepper Newspaper. To know how your feature article is going to be marked, please download the rubric from the Evaluation page.

(To make it easier for you budding journalists, we have broken the page up into steps and provided the information needed by you to create all the necessary requirements for your final presentation to the editor.)

**Step 1**. To create the front page of our newspapers we will be using the newsletter template in Microsoft Publisher. For a comprehensive guide on how to use Publisher and the newspaper template please watch either of the following two YouTube clips. media type="youtube" key="SN8dDf6_9I0" height="315" width="420"media type="youtube" key="9HO1lnCNO4s" height="315" width="420"

**Step 2**. Once you have chosen your particular template, using your fairytale SpiderScribe from the previous lesson, begin writing your feature article keeping in mind all the elements that one must contain. (Here's a hint - use your worksheet from Challenge One!) If you're finding it a challenge to select an appropriate template for your newsletter, here are some of our favourites for you to choose from.   

**Step 3**. Does your feature article cover the who, what, where, when and why? of your chosen fairytale? Have you included various important facts that both inform and entertain the reader?

If so....

Now you must find a picture which compliments your feature article. Our advice is to use Google however make sure it is appropriate for your story - to refresh your memory try playing the game from Challenge One again.

**Step 4**. You are on the home stretch! Once you have completed your feature article and chosen a photo for the front cover you must come up with an exciting and engaging name for your newspaper.
