Audience: You
will be writing this newspaper for an imaginary Animal Kingdom – all of whom

You will be given little time in class to complete your

project). You can use any paper from class you wish – please ask first. If you

will be printed out in Week 9).
If you would like any help at all, please speak to one of

to help you.
Outline of each task:
Out of your five articles, you will need to include:
1.
At least one biography of one animal.
2.
At least one news article about a fictional event
in the animal kingdom.
3.
At least one sports article about an upcoming
interspecies boxing match.
Your two advertisements will need to include:

that may have the same problem/issue.
