Voices from the Middle was
developed by teacher Mrs. Megan McCarthy.
|
The
goals of our newspaper include:
- To allow students to
develop reporting and journalism skills as they
record significant events of our school and our
community
- To establish a vehicle
for students to share their thoughts, at a
critical point in these young adolescents' lives
when they are first discovering their
“voice” and the power of reaching a
large audience
- To further the
development of a middle school identity at our
school (This has historically been an age that
has been “forgotten” at our school; our
newspaper will represent our coming together as a
group to create a product that is significant to
us and visible to the school community and
community at large.)
- To provide a forum for
students to learn about good writing, careful
editing, and the thoughtful creation of a
newspaper, as well as gain hands-on publishing
experience
- To promote our belief
that writing is a powerful and effective tool of
expression and communication, and that through
writing we can discover more about the world and
ourselves.
