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:
  1. Prewriting (focusing, planning, drafting)
  2. Writing (drafting, assessing, revising)
  3. Revision (assessing, editing, publishing, evaluating)
