Branches’ Journalism class provides middle school students with a hands-on learning opportunity to sharpen their writing abilities in an engaging and meaningful manner. Our Ace Reporters delve into various types of writing, including reviews, informative essays, narratives, and creative pieces. While fulfilling specific writing requirements, students can select topics of interest. Articles go through three phases of editing: self, peer, and professional. Like any reporter, students are responsible for meeting deadlines.
While middle school students work together, elementary and high school students meet separately. At the end of the semester, submissions are compiled to create impressive student publications with articles, columns, artwork, and additional pieces reporters choose to add. Publishing gives students a reason to write and motivates them to produce their best work!
