Allow the children to work alone or with a partner.
Provide the children with the newspaper template for their articles.
Remind the children that newspaper articles have catchy headlines to attract readers' attention.
When the children are finished, invite volunteers to share their articles with the group.

For children who may not want to write an article, offer them the chance to retell the story orally or to role-play Isaiah.
