THE PHILADELPHIA SCHOLARS WEEKLY

INTRODUCTION

Welcome, 7th Grade Journalists!

It has come to our attention that there is a great need for news in our school!
The principal has called upon our class to be in charge of putting together a weekly online newspaper
that shares important news from our school community as well as what is happening across the country
and around the globe.

We've learned in our English Language Arts class the importance of both formal and descriptive writing.
I am calling on each and every one of you to use your skills to help us assemble a newsroom
that puts out an informative, weekly newspaper for our school!

In doing this, we're going to have to work together to conduct a group newsroom meeting
at the start of each week to answer the following questions:

    What is the current, important news that is happening in our school?
  • Sports teams
  • Drama club and Jazz Band
  • Extracurricular clubs and activities
  • Upcoming events such as school dances, fundraisers, etc.

    What is the news that is happening in our country and around the world?
  • Major events ("Hard-hitting" news!)
  • Politics
  • Seasonal sports (March Madness!)
  • Upcoming or current movies or music albums by our favorite artists

To properly take on this quest, we will be assigning important roles that will alternate each week in the newsroom.
Each of you will be given specific tasks that will help you to carry out the construction of our weekly paper.
It takes the effort of every person to transform a newsroom into a well-oiled machine.

Let's get to work!
