I don’t know about you, but I love having options! Because of that, I have worked to provide different leveled newspaper templates. These could easily be combined into a multipage newsletter booklet if you so choose, or it could remain as a single page assignment. I also tried to make it so that you could have a “front page” and a content page if you printed front and back. Whichever level your students are in, I think that there is a little something in here for everyone!

Includes:

• 9 Newspaper Outlines (with one page of lined paper)
• 1 page of newspaper jargon to inspire better word choice

Set during the Kashmir conflict, "Iqbal and Yasmin: A Story of Childhood in Kashmir" tells the poignant story of two siblings experiencing the harrowing realities of war. Iqbal, an eight-year-old boy, and his sister Yasmin face the loss of innocence as their village is engulfed by violence with Indian and Pakistani forces in constant contention. Yasmin suffers a traumatic assault by a soldier, while Iqbal strives to restore normalcy by organizing cricket games. Their childhood is a stark contrast of fear and a courageous attempt to find joy and unity in a time of despair.

There are thought provoking questions (and possible answers) at the end of the story.

Learning Objectives

Understanding Conflict: The book provides a lens to view the Kashmir conflict and its effects on the local population.

Effects of War on Children: It emphasizes the profound impact of conflict on the mental and physical well-being of young people.

Resilience and Hope: Iqbal's actions illustrate the capacity for resilience and the pursuit of communal healing even in the darkest times.

Cultural Insight: Readers learn about Kashmir's rich culture and the severe challenges its people face.

Human Rights: The story is a gateway to discussions about protecting civilians and upholding human rights during conflict.

Peacebuilding: It encourages the exploration of non-violent methods for conflict resolution and peacebuilding within communities.

This lesson is a reading on Spindletop and the Texas Oil Boom Era. Students will read paragraphs on the History and the impact of the Texas oil boom and then answer the questions in the chart.
