Start Your Own School Newspaper and Newspaper Club
Starting your own school newspaper isn't difficult. I've run (and created) our school newspaper for three years. This document has most of the materials you'll need for set-up. The newspaper club in my school was open to fifth grade students and printed copies were distributed in the school to faulty, staff, classroom libraries, school common areas, and to the newspaper club members. Our newspaper is usually 12 pages long and we use Microsoft Publisher to create it.

Rhyme-In-Time (Homophones Homonyms Multinyms Word List) (Excel Spreadsheet)
I use this list to drive a creative writing project called "Rhyme-In-Time".
It is an activity that I use to help me craft and refine song lyrics.
It is powered by a large list of word groups - 2 or more words per group - that rhyme in special ways.
Some are what I call "double rhymes".
These words rhyme phonetically (they end in similar sounds), but they also rhyme thematically (they relate as concepts).
For example, "nameless" and "shameless" comes to mind.
"Ruthless", "couthless", and "t
