Are you as excited by this as I am?


If you're interested in reading more Shakespeare (Hamlet makes for wonderful summer reading), here's the home address with links to PDF's and resources for all of Shakespeare's plays: Open Source Shakespeare.

Questions from Friday's Class

Important: Please keep evidence of your process and progress. This includes your drafts, peer editing notes, revisions, planning, etc.


1. Do we have to site our sources in the body of the articles? 

• No. Reference sources as a reporter would: Hesiod stated...; Apollonius claims...; Achilles was such a jerk, according to Homer.

• You will submit a separate works cited page, in accordance to your previous class work, in MLA format.

2. Where can I find newspaper templates?

•           Right now, I don't know. If you find a useful template application online, please let me know, and I will share this with the class. Of course, contributing resources for the benefit of your peers will be rewarded with extra credit toward homework or class grades.

3. How many articles can we include?

• Infinity, or however many the limits of your workload permits. If you are particularly inspired by this project, include as much as you want; it will be seen by your peers. If you want to make a Sunday edition, complete with a coupon circular for whatever the ancient Greeks had instead of supermarkets, I won't inhibit you.

4. What is a masthead?

5. How long should our articles be?

• Your form and audience should be your guide.
• When we return from break, I will ask you to note some of the decisions you've made. If your newspaper is intended to be news on the go, something like Metro, then the articles will be short, and the quality of the article will be evident with your ability to be exact and concise. If you're writing an editorial, we would expect thoughtful and developed arguments (This must be longer than a news-brief).

Alternatives to Drawing

When I told some friends about our newspaper project (they are both art teachers, also from Teachers College, Columbia), they were very excited.  However, they insisted that I offer you some other options for creating your image.


Below are some examples from my friend's class.  Their assignment was to use a newspaper for the source materials for a collage.  Collage can be a powerful method to express ideas.  Unfortunately, we don't have time to do this lesson at school.  


Here are some other techniques you can try:

• Cutting an image into squares/stripes and rearranging them
• Combining stripes of different images
• Cutting out a silhouette/leaving the empty space
• Photomontage
• Charcoal/chalk pastel in picture

NOTE: This is not an assignment.  If you prefer to draw, please do.  However, you do need an image to accompany your article.
