Summary:
|
The District's Educational Services Department has made recommendations for updates in our districtwide course catalog. When a course is discovered to be outdated or lack sufficient information, then a request is sent to the teacher(s) to update the course. At this time we are submitting the revised Middle School Journalism course.
Journalism for 7th and 8th grade students can be either a semester or a year-long introductory course. The course includes an introduction to the world of mass media, basic photojournalism concepts and skills, and exploration of journalistic writing, which covers the role and function of Journalism in our society. Areas covered are: Overview of Media, the First Amendment, photojournalism, news and interview writing, and gathering the news. The year-long Journalism classes will produce the campus newspaper (online) as well as continue in-depth study of previously learned concepts and skills.
The purpose of this elective course is to provide students an opportunity to learn the concepts of Journalism and learn the necessary skills to write and photograph for publication.
The revised Middle School Journalism course has been approved by the Director of Curriculum & Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services.
