Newspaper project for US History – Mrs. Dille
As our first project for this year, our class will design and write a newspaper from 1898!
Working in pairs, (yes, you make work 3 together if you check with me) students will write
articles, ads, letters to the editor, and cartoons for their paper.
A newspaper is published in sections, the Front Page covering national and international news,
the City or Metro section covering local city news, the Business section covering commercial
news, the Sports section covering sporting events, and the “Style” or “Life” section covering
human interest and entertainment news. In addition, a newspaper from 1898 would have ads,
letters to the editor, columns by editors, and political cartoons. There were very few cartoons or
comics at this time. You and your partner(s) will need to write at least 1 article for each section.
Below is a list of events or new ideas for each section.
Front Page: Write about:
A New Invention
A Railway disaster
An Immigration Problem
A Factory
The Homestead Strike
The Spanish American War
The Temperance Movement
The Women’s Suffrage Movement
Metro:
Urban Problems: for example, articles on poverty, immigration, overcrowded, unsafe
tenements, disease epidemics, unsafe work conditions, child labor, strikes, demonstrations,
political corruption and crime
Urban Solutions: laws to reform government, shorten the workday, limit child labor, stop
political corruption, and improve education for children
Business:
Inventions
Formation of Corporations or Trusts
Stock Offerings in new companies
Take Overs and Buy Outs
Trust Busting legislation and lawsuits
Sports:
Baseball and Football became popular
Ads:
Mass produced goods
New inventions
Help Wanted Ads for the factories
Opinion/Editorial:
Spanish American War
17
Unions
Urban Problems
Need for immigration laws
Need for business and political reform laws
Temperance
Women’s Suffrage
Political cartoons on any of the above
Your articles should be typed. You may use the computers in my room, the computer lab or the
library to produce your articles. Insofar as possible, the finished product should look like a real
newspaper, with headings, different type sizes and illustrations. A list of good web sites to visit
is on the back board in my room. Use your imagination. This is not a research paper. It will be
graded as follows:
Contents reflect an accurate understanding of the urbanization and industrial growth that took
place in the United States by 1898
Contents reflect an accurate understanding of the United States recognition as a World Power
after the Spanish American War
Contents reflect an accurate understanding of the problems caused by industrialization and the
reform movement to address these problems in 1898.
Each paper should have a minimum of 10 separate pieces, 2 from each main group above, (5
produced by each student in the group.) If a student chooses to include more than 5 articles, I
will base the grade on the best of those submitted. The student’s name should appear on each
article in some form (author, cartoonist, editor, advertiser, business owner, etc.).
Rubric:
Historical accuracy
Coverage of 5 different issues
Graphics and illustrations
Neat, visually appealing layout
