Pbs Teachers: Newspaper Reporting and Writing

Curated by ACT

In this instructional activity, students explore the many characteristics of a newspaper and try their hands at becoming reporters. They can expand their knowledge about Ernest Hemingway, and author a newspaper focusing on his life, especially his interests and travels. While this instructional activity is designed in conjunction with the PBS program, "Hemingway Adventure," access to the program is not essential to the instructional activity.
