The Newspaper Clipping Generator

The Newspaper Clipping Generator

Looking around on Diigo yesterday I found a great website for any content area where students can create a fake newspaper clipping called the Newspaper Clipping Generator.  Students who use this site don't have to create an account...all they do is complete a form (see image below) and then click "generate".  Once the article clipping is created students can download the image file for their personal use.


Now What?

The Newspaper Clipping Generator is excellent for any classroom where students are writing (every class I hope) and gives them an authentic avenue for their story.  This would be great as a homework assignment and then you can print the stories and make your own classroom newspaper bulletin board!
