Ever wished that the news wasn’t so gloomy? Get inspired by The Good Times of Pelican Rise and design your own newspaper front page dedicated to good news only.
You will need:
- Newspaper template (download below)
- Some good news stories (real or imagined)
Step 1: Think of a cool name for your newspaper. Write it up the top in fun font! It could be anything you like, but make it cheerful! Here are some suggestions: THE SUNSHINE DAILY, the THE HAPPINESS HERALD or THE GOOD TIMES (just like in The Good Times of Pelican Rise!)
Step 2: Fill in today’s date, the weather forecast and the cost of your newspaper. Remember, it’s all about good news! Does your newspaper cost one trillion dollars? Is it free? Maybe it is somewhere in between one zillion dollars and free – you decide!
Step 3: Decide on your good news headline and make that your main story! Write it in big letters. Did a lost cat get found? Is the local ice-cream shop giving away free ice-cream? The good news can be real or made up! There are so many good news stories out there.
Step 4: Write the good news story to go with your good news headline!
Step 5: Draw a picture to accompany the good news story – don’t forget the caption!
Step 6: Decide on another good news headline and make that your second story! Write it in big letters, too.
Step 7: Repeat step 5!
PHEW! Good job on your good news newspaper!
