Discuss why newspapers are important.

How do newspapers get information?
Do you think it was Leonard Woolley or somebody else who wrote the newspaper accounts?
How would you make the account more exciting?

Ask the pupils to choose a year or event which they found interesting in the Tombs Story. Their job is to be a newspaper reporter and tell the general public. They should write a headline and a description of the object(s) found and why they are important. Drawings of site plans, objects or the archaeologists could be included.
