Journalism Activity  

We are introducing a journalism element to this years Out & About Program. 
Students will be asked to be journalists on one Out & About this year.   They will work with a partner. 
Here is what they will be doing: 
  • They will be asked to fill out a worksheet reflecting the Out & About when we return. Worksheet link:  docs.google.com/document/d/1Az5bSHl67E1BqQWTOObfdWj8qtlSR5Ornh_UZ-asKDw/edit
  • They will take pictures during the Out & About.
  • Meet with Stephanie before and after the Out & About to get information before we go and to wrap up after we get back.
  • Be active stewards during the Out & About for their peers. 

​Journals-
Students will be given a hardback journal to be used in art class and during out & about's write/draw about activities.  We will show these journals at our end of year celebration.
