Create Your Own Front Page

You can create your own newspaper article with the Newspaper Clipping Generator. I learned about this from an April 18th Techlearning article.

Think about how you can use this with your students:

  • You can use this as a way to motivate or engage your students about a new project or assignment.
  • Have your students create a clipping for a writing assignment.
  • Have students create a clipping as part of their history assignment from the time period they are studying.

Create an article of your own:

  1. Go to Newspaper Clipping Generator
  2. Fill in the fields for...
    • Name of your newspaper
    • Date of your article
    • Headline for your article
    • Your own news story
  3. Click the Generate button at the bottom of the page.

How to use your clipping:

  1. Click the Click here to save your newspaper. This saves your clipping as a .jpg file.
  2. You can either insert your image into a PowerPoint presentation, Word document, Video, Website, or blog.

There are a number of other things you can do on this site, too.
