EXCELLENT! September 26, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I really like this as a first-time newspaper advisor! I am at a brand new school, so we do not have any previous school newspaper details, and this book is immensely helpful! The majority of my students are ESL, so even though I thought the book was probably most appropriate for middle-schoolers, it is working well with my 10th graders.
It is pretty much a whole bunch of reproducible sheets that students can use to write the notes for the articles. Then I have them type up their notes into actual sentences. The book has pages for hand-writing the "rough drafts", but I prefer to have them typed for ease of my reading them.
I think if youi are a first-timer, this is an excellent resource for grades 3 and up.
This book is not just for teachers and students. July 24, 1996 24 out of 29 found this review helpful
Have you ever thought about creating your own newspaper? Are you ajournalism student who wants the nitty gritty without having to wadethrough long boring tomes on journalism? Are you a teacher who has to teach a journalism class but you just don't have a lot of preparation time? Are you just someone who wants to get ideas to write about?
Yes, you're pretty bright. How did you know I was going to recommend this book? Anyway, this book is a great resource to have. It's aimed towards middle school teachers who will help students create a student newspaper. I'm not a middle school teacher and the last time I checked, I've already been through puberty. However, I like to write and I like to get new ideas and approaches to writing. This is a nice little book to have around and it's so cheap.
