Weekly Walnut Issue #3

The Weekly Walnut …. Hot Off The Press

The first printing for the Weekly Walnut

This is what homes school kids get to do, instead of sitting in a chair mindlessly counting down the clock until school’s over.

Jack came up with all the story ideas, took the pictures, loaded them onto the computer, I showed him how to convert them to black and white, and how to import them into indesign.

He wrote all the stories, did the research for the Piranhas on wikipedia, and commissioned abby to draw the comic.

I simply gave him some advice when he asked, created the papers logo, and helped him format, all of which at some point he could do him self.

So lets recap, he learned to use indesign, photoshop, and iphoto, used the Internet for research, we used email to sends things back and forth between us, and best of all he got the satisfaction on Sunday morning of showing mom his first newspaper.
