The Journalism Club at St. Ann will help students sharpen their writing skills and learn the basics of journalism. It is open to all students 6-8th grades that maintain a 2.5 GPA.
Students will learn to write with a clear focus, coherent organization, and sufficient detail.
The guidelines of journalistic style provide structure and discipline.
Deadlines hold students responsible and accountable.
Students learn and apply real-life skills by publishing: organizing, prioritizing, meeting deadlines, making and keeping appointments, creative problem solving.
The journalism club will be organized around the three stages of the writing process:
- Prewriting (focusing, planning, drafting)
- Writing (drafting, assessing, revising)
- Revision (assessing, editing, publishing, evaluating)
