Yes you can
have ads-but be creative-maybe advertise for good things-like donate to a charity, help with a school
fundraiser etc.
Your work should be creative/not boring-use headlines
etc. Spelling should be checked. Work should be original, not copied. Neatness
counts-try to make it look like a newspaper or news magazine. Have your work checked. You can ask some other students in the class
who you know are good editors.
