               This  course  simulates  a  professional  news
               writing experience.  Students will learn about
               writing for a specific purpose and be involved
               in real-world production situations, requiring
               them to display leadership, time management,
               and  collaboration.    The  course  will  explore
               the  writing  process  and  the  impact  of  text
               features on written communication.  Students
               will  learn  how  to  produce  an  electronic
               publication  that  includes  pictures,  links,
               articles, and event coverage related to current
               national  and  local  news,  school  activities,
               media reviews, and current topics. Enrollment
               in this course will require students to work on
               teams  and  to  meet  production  deadlines.
               Students  must  commit  time  outside  of  the
               school  day  to  complete  projects  and
               assignments.    This  course  satisfies  the
               communication  graduation  requirement  and
               is open to students in grades 10 through 12.
