This is where I took the easy road: I just had them write their articles on white, unlined paper, in ink, no green, pink, or red allowed (it won't copy). They had to submit 8 rough drafts, and from those, they chose two to polish and go in the newspaper (this was a newspaper for the whole core--100 kids--so I had to limit them to to two). Then I just sent everything to the DIRC to be copied and bound. So it doesn't look like a newspaper--the layout is different and so is the look. I thought that might disappoint them, but they loved it! And when I did my feedback sheet at the end of the year, so many kids said they LOVED the newspaper. When it came back from the DIRC, I had to can my lesson for the day. All they wanted to do was read their newspaper and see what the other classes had contributed. It was very successful and done on the cheap and easy. They ran all around the school for two weeks, interviewing teachers, lunch ladies, janitors, the adminstration, office ladies--everyone in the school was very kind and helped us out tremendously.
