A Civil War newspaper is a common history project: students write about battles, leaders and daily life as if they were reporting in the 1860s. This template for Google Docs and Word has an old-fashioned newspaper front page with a masthead, columns and space for headlines and illustrations. Write your articles, add maps or pictures from the period and print it for class. Works for social studies, history day and group projects.
