Despite the fact that “nobody reads newspapers anymore!” – so said Ada sophomores – students in Melody Veltri’s English classes actually created printed newspapers and read them.
You may thank Shakespeare and Julius Caesar on this sophomore discovery. The newspapers were a product of the sophomore’s reading assignment of Shakespeare’s play “Julius Caesar.” Students worked in small groups to create their newspapers.
“Students needed to use information from the play and from their own research of Roman lifestyles and of Julius Caesar to create their newspapers,” she told The Icon.
