Customer Reviews

This book is not just for teachers and students.

Have you ever thought about creating your own newspaper? Are you a journalism student who wants the nitty gritty without having to wade through 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.

EXCELLENT!
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.
