Verona Times Newspaper Project

Your small town puts out a small weekly newspaper each Friday. Assume you are the editor of the News Section. Write up two major stories that have occured in Verona over the last 7 days and an editorial on the message of RJ. Each article must be accompanied by a picture and photo credit using full MLA bibliography format. Make sure you stick with the same set of character pictures, i.e. don't jump from classic version to DeCaprio version in your paper.

Each story must include details from RJ, staying true to Shakespeare's information. No creative digressing or late work is permitted. You are a reporter, after all, who would be fired if your information is inaccurate or not in on time.
