Learn the craft of journalism, including investigative writing and research. Each day our classroom transforms into a working newsroom, complete with editorial staff, reporters, columnists, and headline writers. Each of us will play multiple roles and work together to publish our own newspaper with stories about our community. We will edit each other’s work, take photographs, and publish our final newspaper.
