Teen+Tribune+Directions

Teen Tribune Congratulations! You have just been asked to write the next edition of the Chester County Teen Tribune! The Chester County Teen Tribune is the local information source for teens in your area provided by the Daily Local News. Your job will be to research information and author and design this week's edition of the Teen Tribune! The Teen Tribune is a newspaper section that provides up-to-date reviews and recommendations for local teens. The three main sections of the teen tribune are Recommended Teen Reads, Theme Park Recommendation, and Current Movie Reviews. Using internet resources, you will research current popular books and movies for teens. Below you will find a description of what is needed for each section of the tribune.

Recommended Teen Reads: Using websites like [|www.barnesandnoble.com] and [|www.amazon.com], locate popular teen books. Using the reviews and descriptions that are provided write your book recommendation for teens. The best books to recommend are books you have previously read! Make sure not include any spoilers in your description and recommendation! Provide links in your article websites where the book can be purchased. Make sure to respect copyright rules, do not use someone else's review or recommendation as your own.

Theme Park Recommendations:

Using your research skills, create a list of theme/amusement parks within traveling distance of your area. You may use an amusement park that is not within our state as long as it is no more than an 8 hour drive from your location. Most of us already know about Hershey Park and Dorney Park, but there are many other amusement parks around that offer other exciting rides! Visit the websites for various amusement parks and investigate their pricing, special events, location, feature rides and attractions. Compare the information you find and choose an amusement park to recommend based on your research. Write a review/recommendation for your chosen amusement park that will entice teens to visit the park. Make sure to include pricing, ride attractions and location in your recommendation. Also include a link to the amusement park's website.

** If you do not enjoy amusement parks, you may write this review about your favorite vacation place or a place you would like to go to!

Movie Review:

Using the following site, [|www.movies.yahoo.com], research current movies playing in the theaters. Choose a movie to review and reccommend for teens. Write a brief description of the movie and a simple review. (Remember NO SPOILERS!!) Include theater location, times, and prices for the movie.

Newspaper Format:

Your Teen Tribune should be created in a MS Word document. In order for your issue of the Teen Tribune to fit in the newspaper it must be written in a two column format with the line visible between columns. Also included in your Teen Tribune should be a header containing the title of the newspaper section and the date, a footer that contains page numbers, graphics to enhance your articles and section titles formatted differently than the articles.
