This Digest recounts the varied experiences, for both elementary school students and teachers, of producing a classroom newspaper. In the particular instance discussed in the Digest, for the students, it was a chance to collaborate with their peers, to pursue their own special interests, and to see their work published. For the teacher-adviser, it was a chance to watch the students put the newspaper together bit by bit, appreciate the newspaper when it is printed, and wait for the audience's reaction when they read it. Also presented are eight basic guidelines for creating a student newspaper. (NKA)
