Check out your own school newspapers and see if there are stories that might be of interest to students at other schools or in other parts of Canada. We'll be sure to let readers know that they came from your paper. Don't forget to add video or audio reports to your article. Perhaps there is a meeting being held in your community that you believe concerns students, record or film it (home video camera is fine). We will edit it and attach it to your article. OR if there is a concert with a local group you really like, interview them on tape and tape the concert (with their permission of course). Also, remember, if you are taking information from a source, whether it is from an internet site or other resource, make sure you mention it in your article. Particularly if you are quoting directly from the source. If you're interested in writing a story and are having trouble thinking of an idea, check out the Story Ideas section for further topics.
