1. Having talked very much about the Berlin Wall over the past couple of days, we saw how much
of an effect it had not only on Europe, but on the world. The Berlin Wall was so important, that
when it finally crumbled on November 9, 1989, the world as people knew it changed. The
headlines of newspapers around the world read things such as “Berlin Wall Tumbles” and “Berlin
Wall Open At Last.”
What I would like for you to do for this assignment is create your own newspaper front page for
November 9, 1989, the day the wall fell. You must have a name for your newspaper, a catchy
headline, as well as include a two paragraph article explaining all aspects of the wall. I will be
grading for spelling, grammar, and topic sentences! You must also include 2 large hand drawn,
colored pictures that go along with your article.
You will need to do some outside research for this assignment and the Internet is a great source.
Please include a bibliography sheet that tells me where you received your information, and please
remember our rules on plagiarism. Please be sure to include at least 2 “quotations.”
