Newspaper Article Newspaper Article Write a newspaper article that is appropriate to the time period. Your article should show you understand the event(s) that took place. You have "literary license" to make up names of people and their comments for the article, but they must be appropriate for the time and place. You may include a picture/chart to enhance your article, but it is to be a minor part of your article. Remember - "just the facts!" Must be YOUR ORIGINAL WORK.
