Front page newspaper book report

To pep up this assignment, teachers can use real-world formats, such as newspaper articles. Students writing a newspaper-style book report should begin with the “H-W5” or “Journalist’s Questions,” suggests education author Graham Foster: that is, "who, what, when, where, why and how?"

A fun way to mix up the traditional book report format is to create a newspaper article about the events that take place in your assigned book. This can be done in a number of ways, but each different approach will have a few things in common.

Include all relevant details, but only those; like a real newspaper article, the book report should be concise. Add a headline that will grab attention and give some basic information about the “article.” Foster recommends using humor, alliteration or puns for eye-catching headlines.

Front Page: Like the cover of a book or magazine, the front page of a newspaper usually carries brief information about what readers will find within its pages. This is the most visible part of the publication which also serves as an introductory letter to its content.
