Press Ahead - A teacher's guide to creating student newspapers

Press Ahead! is both a teaching tool and a planning guide for creating a student newspaper.

As a teaching tool, it provides background on the different sections and elements of a newspaper. It includes an instructional guide that requires students to go beyond a quick overview of newspaper components by analyzing the structure, language and connections of different parts of the newspaper.

Press Ahead! also serves as a planning guide for students who want to produce their own newspapers. Forms are provided to help students gather data and organize their thoughts. Other forms detail the steps to produce a newspaper and guide the process of making assignments to newspaper staff.

Press Ahead! also provides opportunities for students to investigate and discuss issues related to press ethics and responsibilities.A section of this guide includes background information and instructional activities on topics such as press freedom, tabloid journalism and online newspapers.
