A reading activity module based on the newspaper was designed for students in grades 6-8 who have had two years of instruction in French as a second language. The module includes the teacher's guide, the facsimile newspaper, and transparencies for class activities. Module objectives are to introduce students to both newspaper reading and production. Materials are graded so that the module can be used with the same students over a period of years. Activities include proofreading, editorial correspondence, articles, movie reviews, and other aspects of producing a class newspaper. (RW)
