Description

Newspaper Templates | Newspaper Writing Activity with Digital Distance Learning

Newspaper Article Templates (printable or in Google Slides) are easy and no-prep worksheets that can be used for ANY subject area, writing assignment, or information-gathering activity in your classroom.

This newspaper templates product is so versatile that you can use it all year in multiple subject areas!

Newspaper templates can be used for any of the following: book reports, All About Me, science or social studies reports, expository writing, assessments of learning, or fun facts activities.

Some newspaper article ideas include:

  • Book reports
  • An All About Me Unit
  • Science or social studies reports
  • Expository writing
  • Assessments of learning
  • Reflection activities
  • Fun facts activities

There are 13 templates with the name of a newspaper printed on the front (The Chatty Commentator, The Social Studies Star, Book Report Times, The Babbling Bulletin, etc.). These are followed by 13 templates with varying borders, layouts, and phrases on the front (students create their own newspaper names).

Each of the 26 templates is followed by the back side with a matching border.

Each template includes doodle clip art for illustrations, images, or photos. Of course, an obvious option is for students to illustrate their own pictures on the printed pages. Other options might include printing pictures online, drawing diagrams, or creating information tables. In the Google Slides options, students right-click on the empty square and replace it with an image.

These newspaper templates can be used for the 2nd-12th grade, homeschooling, or camp/activities outside of school.

NOTE: THIS FILE INCLUDES A DIGITAL OPTION!

This product includes a digital option (as well as the no prep printable option). The instructions for utilizing the digital portion appear at the end of the packet.

This PDF file contains 63 pages + a Google Slides Option.

  138. Amanda B  –

    Great resource, thank you!

  139. Annalisa R –

    Students were so engaged with their writing when we did our newspaper articles! I would share one template with them, and they’d type their final draft of whatever we were working on at the moment. It wasn’t necessarily a news article, but whatever we were writing about at the time. Another time, I shared 4 different templates with them in one assignment, and we worked on writing 4 different articles. After a couple of weeks, they had 4 different articles typed out in their final drafts in this particular assignment. When I printed them out, I chose to print out 2 pages on one sheet, and I printed them out front-and-back, and in the end, we folded the final printed copy in half and they each had their own little news paper created by them. Thank you for a great resource!Show more

WHAT EDUCATORS ARE SAYING

growth-mindset-bell-ringers-journal

I’ve purchased many Growth Mindset resources over the years, and this is by far one of the best. It is thoughtfully put together, thorough, and meaningful. The students are engaged…and mindsets are shifting! Love it. Thanks!

Tina A.
end-of-year-character-traits-awards

I absolutely loved these awards! I love all the categories. I love all the sayings that go with each category. I love how there are boy and girl awards for each category, and most of all I love how super easy it was to use! All I had to do was enter my name and date and it was added to each award automatically. Then all I had to do was fill in the names. Thanks for this resource!

Michelle N.
growth-mindset-soft-starts-warm-ups

I loved this resource! It was simple to use, engaging, and relevant. I loved the simplicity of each slide. The text and graphics were kid-friendly, beautifully formatted for easy reading, and best of all, there was no prep!

Barbara S.
yoga-cards-for-kids

I love ALLLLL of your resources and this one is no exception! I use these (laminated) Yoga cards to reference when either myself or another student is leading the class in Brain Breaks in between subjects.

Amber S.
free-figurative-language-posters

This is an excellent resource. Well created, student friendly, clear and concise! Thank you so much for sharing your talents!

Caryn D.
figurative-language-sort-activity

The examples on the cards were awesome. I was able to use the cards in multiple ways (bingo, flashcards, etc). This is an awesome resource.

Alison B.
creative-journal-writing-prompts-5th-grade

This has been a great resource for our journal writing in class! The prompts are always thought provoking and even get my hesitant writers to get something on the paper. Thank you!

Ashley F.
owen-and-mzee-activities-literature-unit

I used this during our Owen & Mzee unit on an emergency SUB day! The digital resource was perfect to assign via google classroom at home. I loved that my students were able to independently review multiple skills with our current text.

Mrs. Clark
positive-affirmations-for-kids-cover

This resource doesn’t take much time to prep. I made copies on color paper, cut, and laminated them so I could store them for future use. Each morning, I share an affirmation that I feel my students can relate to and I have them share their feelings or point of view on the affirmation. I post each day’s affirmation on the wall near the classroom door, and we reference past ones as needed. My goal is to have a wall of affirmations by the end of the school year.

Andrea A.
context-clues-activities-bundle-3rd-4th-5th-grade

This was the best resource I have found for teaching my students strategies for figuring out unknown words. We completed one of each type of activity in a whole group setting. Then they practiced with a partner before doing their independent practice. My students were highly successful with this resource. Thank you!

Melissa G.
Theme Task Cards and Printables Digital Option COVER

This is an amazing resource and I have used it over and over again! Thank you for such tremendous products! It barely fits in a year without skipping a few lessons.

Elizabeth H.
growth-mindset-picture-book-activities

This is everything you could need and more. The titles are awesome, and the activities are so well done. My kids loved it across both of my grades. Wow!

Christine H.

The task cards work wonderfully in literacy centers. They provide quick review and serve to upgrade student’s writing. Environment skill support is essential, and the anchor charts provide the scaffolding needed by many.

Debra N.
growth-mindset-affirmations

My class does Daily Affirmations, and these cards create great conversation starters as well as reminders. They enhance our Growth Mindset board so beautifully and help keep me on track when I start to feel frustrated. Print, laminate a set for your wall, and have kids copy them into a journal. Such a great boost to start the day!

Kelly B.
first-week-of-school-activities-3rd-grade

I love this bundle! I have used it for the past two years and it has been so great to use it to get to know my new students. My students also enjoy doing them as they are easy activities to do.

Stephanie M.
main-idea-and-details-task-cards

Getting to the main idea of a passage can be difficult for some students. Use this digital, as I did, for morning work or homework. Print out the PDF version and work small group.

Debra N

WOW!!!!!! Five stars is not enough!!! I could not have been more impressed with the quality of this product!!!! Do not hesitate to purchase from this seller!
