Start with a clear focus for the page
If your theme is Hou Yi Shooting the Suns, the handwritten newspaper should stay centered on the hero, the story, and the lesson behind it. This helps readers understand the topic quickly and keeps the page from feeling messy.
You can place the main title at the top center and decorate it with small drawings of suns, arrows, or clouds. A strong title makes the whole poster feel more complete.
Five useful sections for an easy layout
1. Short story introduction
Use a brief paragraph to explain the background: in the legend, ten suns appeared in the sky at the same time, the earth became unbearably hot, crops withered, and people suffered. Hou Yi stepped forward and shot down nine suns, leaving one to light the world.
2. Key plot points
- Ten suns rose together
- The land became too hot
- People and plants suffered
- Hou Yi drew his bow
- Nine suns were shot down
- One sun remained to warm the earth
3. Character profile
This section can describe Hou Yi as brave, decisive, responsible, and caring toward the people. Keep it short and highlight his role as a hero who helped others.
4. What this myth teaches us
You can write that true heroes help others in difficult times, courage matters when facing problems, and wisdom is also important because Hou Yi did not remove every sun.
5. Good lines to copy
Leave a small corner for neat sentences or short quotes related to the story. This makes the page richer and more readable.

A layout idea that looks balanced

Warm orange and red colors can show the heat of the suns, while blue or green can make the page feel more balanced.
