My project needs one voice activated standard cassett recorder, one Sony 7.2 mp digital camera, one Epson Picturemate Snap Personal Photo Lab,one HP Photosmart Kit, and some professional photo paper.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
Extra, extra, read all about my fourth grade class and their fabulous idea. Coming from music class the other day the students were all a buzz with a wonderful idea. They told me they wanted to write a school newspaper!
When we returned to class we had a class meeting about their idea. A discussion of what all would be involved in the process and publication of a school newspaper was held. Each student was excited of the possibilities for learning and what jobs they would hold for the newspaper. They decided we would need reporters, photographers, writers, editors, and publishers. This was exciting to me because it demonstrated that they understood the writing process. After school I discussed the idea with our principal and he approved.
I feel my students need to experience every aspect of the newspaper and to do this we need certain materials. The reporters will need a tape recorder to make sure they get all the information when doing interviews. The photographers will need to use a digital camera and accessories for the camera to capture events going on around the school. Then the publishers will use the photo lab and paper to complete the final product. The jobs will be alternated in each publication to assure that each student can benefit from learning new technology.
Our school is a Title One school and we need your help to make this classroom desire come to life. Our resources at the school are limited but the students' imaginations are not. You never know one of my students could be the next star reporter for the Charlotte Observer!
