Answer 1

Start with the headline -
THE HEADTEACHER MUST GO
The rest is easy!

Answer 2

Creating a newspaper is a great exercise in civic participation. You will gain skills in communication, writing, editing, time-management, multi-tasking, aesthetics, and much more. If you are doing all the work, you will also reap the benefits of learning these skills. I suggest that you see this as an opportunity to respond to your classmates in a way that will help inspire them instead of making them feel bad for not being as helpful. Try not to be a martyr. Instead enjoy the experience of learning and creating something really cool that you can share with all your friends. Above all, be grateful to your classmates, even the ones who don't help much. Remember - an attitude of gratitude will increase your social latitude.

Incidentally, you could do an article on common grammar mistakes, such as saying "me and my friends" instead of "my friends and I"... :)

Best of luck, and keep up the good work.

Answer 3

Maybe you should concidered tasking all the work. Make sure each individual is responsible for a certain section of the paper, example; you do fitness, some other person does weather etc etc... this way you can stay in and finish your part - and whatever part doesn't get finished you know who is lacking participation should a teacher or someone ask!.. Make sure to write down and have everyone sign to agree as to who is in charge of what!

Good luck

Answer 4

All this will give you nice experience. Look at the positive side of it, you will learn a lot of new things and actually will know how the newspapers are created. Even if somebody takes credit for the work you've done, just ask him/her a question work related and see how embarrassed they will be not knowing the right answer.

GOOD LUCK!

Answer 5

Do you have the role of editor? If you have not already decided upon roles, you should. All of you should have a clear idea of your position and the responsibilities required of you. Some roles are more work-heavy, but then you get the glory of having your name as editor/chief reporter or whatever. Ask your English teacher to sort you out. Don't give up!

Answer 6

First rule of journalism, "Proper Grammar Is A Must"

You need to have a "heart to heart" with your friends, they may not have the same priorities as you. If you are the editor, you need to delegate the responsibilities. If you are not the editor then maybe you should have a talk with him or her.

Good Luck

Answer 7

First, IF you are going to start w school newspaper with your friends, please learn HOW to write the English language correctly!! "Me and my friends"??? "it" (no capital letter), "supposed" (no helping verb), "weve" (no apostrophe for the contraction we have), "Feel like" should be "feel as though."

THEN you can meet with your friends to talk about distributing the work load. Don't embarrass yourself, your friends AND the school if you cannot write any better than that!!

Answer 8

If you feel you're doing too much work then drop out, it could mess up your studies. On the other hand it could be good as a hobby or a step into journalism.

Answer 9

Just a tip for you. Proper grammar goes a long way to success

It is not ME AND MY FRIENDS

It is MY FRIENDS AND I

Answer 10

My friends and I...but learn to delegate...make them understand what you need help with and which of them you need to do what - be assertive, but not b*tchy.
