![]() ![]() ![]() Produce your own classroom or neighborhood newspaper inspired by The Landry News. ![]() "Some people are newsmakers," observes Cara, "and some aren't." Who are the newsmakers in your school or neighborhood? What makes them so interesting to others? Why was the principal so upset by the "Lost and Found" article in The Landry News? Would you be? How much do you know about your teachers? What do you imagine they do on their own time? Do you believe they have different in-school and out-of-school personalities? Larson's students know very little about his life outside of school. How did Cara's duties change as the newspaper grew? What were the advantages of having a larger readership? What were the risks? The Landry News starts small, but soon the whole school is reading it. Larson was stung by Cara's first editorial, but The Landry News ended up reviving his love of teaching. How was the class's atmosphere good for Cara? Would it be good for you? Larson became a lazy and sloppy teacher, and students became bored and restless in his classroom. "But when you are publishing all that truth, just be sure there's some mercy, too." What does she mean by that? Do you agree that mercy is as important as truth? What motivated her to start that newspaper? What was its tone? Before Cara came to Denton Elementary School, she wrote a newspaper in her old school. ![]()
