In the sixth grade classes, we are studying newspapers and journalistic writing. During the first week, students will be learning newspaper jargon and vocabulary. They will then go on to learn the types of newspaper stories found in the Billings Gazette. We will also look at other newspapers from around the state and the region via the internet.
The students will then learn the different types of jobs at a newspaper. Not everyone can be a reporter, but each person will have a hand in creating a class newspaper.
My hope is that by creating their own paper students will be more aware of the school community. They will become more skillful when writing in class.
