9. Peewee baseball newspaper layout. Lay out a photo page for a community newspaper. Select from these six photos and write captions for those you use. In addition to the photos and captions, you have a story that is 8 column inches long for the page.
Caption information: This is a summer peewee baseball league. The Rocky Hill Rangers are playing the Bearden Bobcats. In this league, adults serve as pitchers and try to pitch so that every batter has a good chance of hitting the ball. Both boys and girls play on the teams. In this particular game, the Rocky Hill Rangers beat the Bearden Bobcats by a score of 12 to 8.
