Students learn by writing both in class and outside of class.
To the extent possible, the classroom will become a newsroom in which students learn to think as journalists. Students are expected to learn how to write print and broadcast copy that is clear, interesting and accurate. Local journalists and newsmakers will speak to the class. The teacher will also accompany students on visits to observe live television newscasts and perhaps other activities in the Charleston area. Students are encouraged, but not required, to participate in these learning experiences.
