For this assignment you are going to research one of the events linked to on the right. You are then going to create a two page newspaper that explains what happened. You'll try to bring out several things including:

1. What is the main event?
2. Why did it matter then and why does it matter now?
3. What's the context to this event?

The Details

1. Your newspaper, including pictures, should take up all of two 11" by 17" sheets of paper. You only need to use one side of each sheet of paper.
2. It should look like a newspaper. That means, for example, 
• that it's laid out in columns. 
• Headlines appear at different levels on the page. 
• There are appropriate primary source pictures. 
• There is a masthead.
3. You should rough your newspaper out, possibly by hand, to help in the planning process.
4. At least one source should be a primary source such as an article from the time period from the Winnipeg Free Press or other acceptable primary source (check with the teacher for details).
5. in text citations (aka: footnotes).
6. You should have a bibliography attached to the second page of your newspaper.
