The Task  

Your group will research, write, and edit a single edition of  your newspaper that focuses on the Tuskegee Airmen.  Remember that you will do this twice: first as reporters for the Chicago Tribune (a mainstream paper) and then as reporters for the Chicago Daily Defender (a black owned and operated paper).

Include in this edition: (1) a news article; (2) a feature story; (3) an editorial; (4) a letter to the editor from someone about segregation in the armed forces (could be from someone in the military, a relative, activist, politician or some other person); and (5) a political cartoon.

The edition should be creatively put together incorporating logos and pictures within Microsoft Word.  At the conclusion of this project, there will be a Newspaper Fair during which each group's newspapers will be presented to the class and put on display for class members to read.
