Other High School Newspaper

1. My favorite newspaper cover was the Mustang because the drawing of the squid was really good and made it stand out from the others.
2. The Tiger print because the color that they used really pops, and the picture of the teenage girl with a baby is not something you see on many other high school newspapers.
3. My favorite head line was A Superior Season because it is about marching band and that makes me really excited.
4. There was four stories on the front page.
5.  All of the newspapers have very similar designs with a big picture and some of the things that can be found inside the newspaper, but there are some exceptions.
6. Most of the newspapers have a picture and headlines, but there are some that have one big picture with nothing else, or just a very small name of the newspaper, on the front.
7. They all had large photos with headlines so they are very similar, but the mostly looked like magazines, not newspapers.

Front Pages of the World

1. My favorite newspaper cover was from Amarillo. The main topic and picture was interesting and was what brought me in.
2. My favorite headline was about A&M University cloning beef. It is interesting because you always hear people talking about cloning things, but now there is a source where it is informing you that it is actually happening.
3. There was three stories on the front page of the newspaper.
4.  All the newspapers had about three stories and one big main picture with a couple of advertisements.
5. Some of the things that varied on the newspapers was the number of pictures on the cover and the size of the name of the newspaper.
