Industrial Revolution Newspaper

This year, we will be writing articles/essays for a newspaper covering the major events, trends & people of the Industrial Revolution. Students will then format all of this information into Microsoft Publisher for practice creating a newspaper layout.  Knowledge of this software will be useful for students in the future as more classes use project-based assessment in addition to standardized tests.  This is a group project for up to 4 people; students who wish to work individually may do so. We will be in the computer lab November 15-22 to format our newspapers; this project is completely due at the end of class November 22, either digitally or hard copy.
