Beginning Journalism

This elective is open to 11th-12th grade students.

Description: Beginning Journalism places

an emphasis on critical thinking, research,

ethics, communication, and the structure

and craft of different styles of journalistic

writing. Students read and write on a daily

basis, and through a variety of mediums.

Students integrate theoretical studies with

modern and practical applications

throughout the course. They use

technology and digital media to enhance

and extend their understanding and

creations, and to listen to and reach a

broader population. This is not a

production class. (The school

newspaper is a separate club.) This

course satisfies 1 year of the East Side

Union High School District's English

elective credit requirement. This course

satisfies the UC and CSU "g" requirement.
