My classroom of young journalists and English students attend a charter school in South Los Angeles. The four walls of our classroom function not only as a place of learning, but also as a fully-functional newsroom. My students report, write, and edit every story in the newspaper's bimonthly newspaper. I am proud to tell anyone who will listen that they create every square inch of every page of every issue. My students are passionate about the stories they write which range from the boilerplate high school teenage drama to the latest national debate and how it connects to our everyday lives. While my students are incredibly proud of the work they do, I think they are only beginning to understand the historical importance of the words they write. By the end of the year, I am confident that they will walk away from their experiences empowered to share the stories of their community with the rest of the world.
