My Project

My students are very hard working and have fun, little personalities with specific interests. Building relationships through interests is an important component for building class culture. Class culture ensures that all students feel comfortable in the learning environment.

With a class newspaper, students will engage in the writing process though their interests and take photographs to enhance their writing, which will increase engagement and output.

The digital cameras will allow students to take pictures to add to the newspaper. Most years writing is the least preferred subject area and the most draining for students. With adding the class newspaper and cameras to document class activities, students will be motivated with their writing.

The class newspaper provides a platform for students to express their ideas and creativity. It helps to develop their critical thinking skills and utilize their writing skills. Also, it can help build peer-to-peer relationships through common interests.
