“Red Star”
Research and write an article from Lev’s perspective as though it were written for publication in the Red Star.
At the conclusion of the novel, Lev works in the army as a journalist for the Red Star.
Revise and edit your article before displaying and/or sharing aloud. If time allows, you might spend time peer-editing articles with a partner or small group.
Teaching Suggestion: To reinforce Lev’s voice, students may find it beneficial to incorporate Lev’s personal experiences and his interpretations of events, along with supporting textual evidence. Consider providing students with additional guidelines on the formatting and visual presentation of their newspaper article.
