PICK YOUR OWN STORY
 
There are hundreds of stories all around you. Every person, every school, every community has a story to tell. Just keep Who, What, Where, When and Why in mind as you start off with a great lead, tell the story — maybe throwing in a quote or two — and finish off with an eye-catching headline. To make a REALLY great story, use a photo or a graphic.
To start you thinking, here are some of the stories recently turned in by 4th grade students for their newspaper:
