Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be an on-the-scene reporter for events throughout history? This is your chance. The Past Times Paper gives students the chance to get up close with history in a way nothing else does. In this unique journal, students become the reporter.
Building creative writing, research, and journalism skills, students will create their own newspaper.
We provide prompts and the newspaper template, students get to fill in the rest. They will create ads based on the time period, comic strips, newspaper games, artwork, and more. This journal is perfect for budding journalists, writers, history buffs, and creative learners. It is a wonderful way to introduce students to history in a way that’s fun and engaging- no dry textbooks and boring book reports here!
Use daily for an intensive History and Writing unit lasting about a month, or weekly to last all year. You can even use this over a period of several years as you study different periods in history.
