In a word document write a newspaper article:
You are a reporter for the Kelly Historic Times. Your editor has asked you to write a story about one of the new technologies being used in
the war effort or one of the major battles that have happened in Arkansas. Research your topic so that your article will answer the
questions: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How. This should look like an essay or a news article.
