Pre-AP Newspaper AssignmentPre-AP Newspaper AssignmentYou MUST have all 4 parts:

– Factual article - This should be from the view of a reporter who witnesses the first huge gush of oil on January 10, 1901. It should include facts about Spindletop to give an accurate report of the discovery.

– Opinion article - This should be from the view of one of the oil workers at Spindletop. Tell how life changed after the oil discovery, as well as any benefits or drawbacks. Since it is an opinion, it is okay for them to hold either a positive or a negative view; however, you need to have evidence and a personal account from the oil worker to back it up.

– Advertisement - Make an ad from the point of view of a farmer wanting to sell his land near the Spindletop oil well. Be creative with this part; the thought is to make something catchy in order to sell the land at a top price.

– Picture - Include at least one picture of the Spindletop oil well or something related to your articles.
