Publishing the story – Romeo & Juliet

In William Shakespeare’s times, newspapers didn’t yet exist – however, you are going to change that:

Create a paper which deals with the events of “Romeo & Juliet”!

First, you need to decide on a name for your paper and whether you want to create a tabloid or a broadsheet.

You need to include the following “parts” – remember that their style needs to match your choice of either broadsheet or tabloid:

• article(s) covering the events
• Editorial or op-ed
• interviews with eyewitnesses and / or experts
• background information on family life, esp. the role of girls/women, in the late 16^th and early 17^th century
• Letter to the editor

Optional parts are:

• Pictures
• Time line

Technical requirements:

• three to four A4 pages, 2-3 columns per page
• font size 11 pt (headlines not more than 14 pt)

Your group needs to present a printed version of your paper at the end of the day!
