Make a Classroom Newspaper
You can create your own newspaper. Students can be reporters, researching and writing newspaper articles. Topics for articles can include interesting things that have happened in the classroom or school, events that occurred in your town, family milestones (did someone have a birthday recently, or win an award?), a sports tournament, extreme weather, or an interesting local person! Before you begin, read and analyze some newpaper articles to see how professional reporters write.
You can put the articles of all the students in the classroom together to make your own classroom newspaper! You can even add advertisements for made-up products.
A newspaper is a daily or weekly publication that contains news articles, editorials, and other items. Newspapers are printed on large sheets of inexpensive paper that are folded. Ads (and to a much lesser extent, subscriptions) pay the costs of operating a newspaper. Synonyms for newspaper are paper and rag (this is a disparaging term).
The owner of a newspaper is called the publisher. The editor is in charge of the content. Reporters research and write the articles. Most reporters specialize in an area (like government, crime, or science) - this specialty is called the reporter's beat.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Major Arun Kumar Jha, a 36 yr old serving officer of the Indian Army. I have completed more than 15 yrs of active service, and am presently posted in Bhatinda in Punjab. I am contacting you in connection with certain plans coming to me for encouraging agriculture related entrepreneurship in the fertile areas of North Bihar.
After his MA, PhD in Sanskrit in 1969, my father moved (migrated) to work in the Kaivalyadhama Yoga Research Institute in Lonavla in Pune district of Maharashtra from our original village Babu Pali in Madhubani district of North Bihar. I was born (and brought up) there in 1971, and studied in Don Bosco, Lonavla and in Fergusson College, Pune before going for my Military training.
THE PLANS
The plans envisage encouraging the local villagers (of North Bihar) to set up food processing units, and providing Packaging and Marketing facilities to them on a large scale.
Specific areas in North Bihar (South of the Himalayas), in the immediate and distant future will be flood prone due to Global warming and the melting of the Himalayan glaciers. It is also a known fact that the land in the plains of North Bihar is very fertile due to the silt deposited by the rivers from the Himalayas over the years.
It is proposed to raise Seven Packaging Parks in identified (flood free) areas in North Bihar. These Packaging Parks will carry out Packaging of the processed food products prepared by local entrepreneurs (FPUs). The HQ of the enterprise (which will be located in Pune city in Maharashtra) will coordinate the marketing of the products in the Packaging Parks in North Bihar. Systems of a Brigade HQ of the Indian Army, modified to suit the requirements, will be applied in all Packaging Parks.
To carry out their functions, the Packaging Parks will have 2 Cold Storages, Packaging Plants, a Vehicle Park with complete repair facilities, a Main office, a Medical Inspection Room, a Shopping Complex and other structures revealed from experience. I will myself raise the first such Packaging Park in Madhubani district by 31 May 2011 at the earliest, all other conditions being ideal.
THE FUNDS
These plans involve funds of approx $ 40 Million (Rs 160 Crore) per Packaging Park: which works out to $ 280 Million for the entire effort. These funds are presently not available to me. The motivation is purely spiritual and is powered by my desire to realise the aim of my taking on this Human birth in India. However, the funds are indispensable, and I have become a member of TiE, Mumbai to get into contact with some Venture Capitalist(s). However, it would be rather preferable if Reliance Industries (Mr. Mukesh Ambani) got to know of these plans, and contacted me for all the details at bpfp@rediffmail.com (since his email is not readily available).
With your exposure to the higher echelons of the Indian Food Processing field, may I request you to give the above plans the appropriate publicity?
