This link will take you to a collection of templates enabling you to create your own newspaper.

Steps to follow to create a similar classroom newspaper:
1) purchase the [|Bundled 100 newspaper template]designed for 8 1/2 x 11 paper. You can select to receive the template on a CD or download it.

2) add your own content (Note: when you add images to your newspaper they will come in underneath the next. You must click somewhere on the perimeter of your image to select it. Once selected, you must find "arrange" on your menu bar and bring the image "to the front". This will allow you to drag the image where you want it. Text boxes are linked so that text will flow from box to box.

3) Save your document as a pdf. A sample of CRES Press as a PDF is shown below. 4) Create an account at Flipsnack. Flipsnack is free but will have some limitations. I recently purchased 75 points. Publishing a flipping book costs $10. You are allowed to create 3 flipping books for free. After that, if you create more flipping books only the first 3 pages will be shown to viewers. If you manage your own website or blog, Flipsnack creates embedd codes that help you host the flipping book on your own sites.

5) After you have your account, you simply upload your pdf to your Flipsnack account. You can select different ways to display your book, hardcover, softcover, spiral, etc. You can also upload a cover page to serve as the first page for a hardcover book.



Other Newspaper/Newsletter Ideas
Here's an example of a newsletter I created for Tri County Wildlife Care using Publisher. I also loaded it to Flipsnack.com. Within a few days, it received 1600 views. This is just another way of helping spread the word about your organization/ideas. When posted to Flipsnack, the newsletter can include hyperlinks to your website or blog and can also link your audience to your videos or a donation link.

If you want to create a 4 page newspaper but print on 1 sheet of paper, both sides, consider purchasing Bundle 200. You can print page 1 and 4 onto one page using "shrink to fit" before printing. Shrink to fit page 2 and 3 on another sheet of paper. Then take your master copies to the printer and just print back-to-back. A sample of a CRES Press in this format is shown below.
