NewspaperProject Instructions

Description​:

Create a newspaper covering the Spanish-American War by writing

articles and editorials, and finding political cartoons and illustrations

(cited, of course) about the material you have been learning.

You are to express the views of the time period and write like a “yellow

journalist.” A journalist who is trying to highly influence the reader by

using exaggeration and sensationalism. Use your imagination and be

creative!

The first thing you need to do is name your newspaper.

General Requirements​:

1. Name your newspaper, date it (based on the date from that period)

and include your name as editor. ​ Even though the events may
all be at different times, still assign a date with the proper

year.

Think of a ​sensational​ headline for your paper. Remember you
are a “yellow journalist.”

2. Your newspaper must include all assignments for the newspaper

specified.

3. Your newspaper must be neatly organized.

4. Your newspaper ​may​ also include other parts of a newspaper not
assigned, such as a classified section, sports, comics,

advertisements, etc.

5. Each article must have a title. The title should be short and to the

point.

6. The articles should have five or more sentences, and should be

interesting, informative, and based on facts. However, you are also

writing during a time period when “yellow journalism” was

prominent. ​Good news articles answer the questions: “who?
what? when? where? why? and how?” Each article MUST be

specific – names, descriptions, details, etc.

Article Requirements​:

1. Article on the sinking of the Maine (5)

2. Political Cartoon on the Spanish-American War (with citation) (5)

6. An article describing the Rough Riders and what they did during

the Spanish-American War (5)

7. An article describing the details of the Treaty of Paris’ settlement

of the war (remember this Treaty of Paris must relate to the

Spanish-American War since there are many treaties that made

in Paris (5)

8. Letter to the editor from the Philippines stating your opinion on

what you are seeing following the Treaty of Paris – you may be a

U.S. soldier or American non-combatant who is still there, a

Filipino citizen or soldier, or rebel. (5)

9. Inclusion of sources for pictures and article information.

explore before composing your answers. Be sure to look carefully at the attached rubric for group discussion expectations.
This week’s question:

● Do you think political cartoons are a useful or harmful tool? Explain your response.
● How effective was/is yellow journalism? Do you believe this is a fair way of reporting, why or why not?
● Where do you see examples of yellow journalism today?

Classmate’s post:
K, Close:
I think political cartoons can be both harmful and useful. They are useful for raising awareness to political issues. They can also be harmful if people use
them to spread political rumors or untrue facts.
Yellow journalism is when you post a side of a conflict or event with exaggerated or showy features to get more attention from readers. Because of this
reason Yellow journalism can be very effective. yellow journalism can be either positive or negative depending on what its about.
You can see many examples of yellow journalism today either in the press or social media. People will write and post their perspectives and struggles with
exaggerations and biased feelings which someone will most definitely contradict in some way.

R, Anthony
I think they are a useful tool because they can be used to help solve a problem.
I think it was effective because it showed the people’s perspective.
You see it in the news and on Facebook were people will post or say something that they do like or don’t like.
