This year the Junior Journalists have gone techno by publishing their articles on the internet. Unlike all the other years, when a College for Kids newspaper was distributed on the last day, this year the paper is only available on the World Wide Web.
JUNIOR JOURNALISM, taught by Mrs. Christine Kindon, is for students in grades 5-8.
This class gives students a feel of the jobs of a journalist: interviewing, taking photos, and writing articles as well as laying out the pages visually.
When asked about the class, Angelina Joiner said, “It was fun, but it was a lot of work.
Meagan Arnold and Angela Loewen, from Kindon’s Journalism electives classes at Montoursville High School, are the teaching assistants. This is their first year at the college.
Arnold said, “I’m doing this for my senior project and because I like Journalism.”
Loewen agreed. “I loved Journalism class with Mrs. Kindon, and this is a great opportunity to teach kids for my graduation project.”
They had no field trips this year, but the students attended other classes to interview people and take pictures for their stories.
Julia Bresticker said, “I like writing the stories more than taking pictures.”
Bresticker continued, “I like to write, and the best part about this class is being able to see what other classes are doing for the week.”
The whole Junior Journalism class hopes that you like the paper we have provided for you, so please continue to look at the rest of our online newspaper.
Director of Lycoming College for Kids and Teens, Mrs. Robin Van Auken, was excited about this year’s selection of The Lycoming Gazette because it is the same name as the original newspaper from this region. |
