Middle School Journalism

In this course, students learn by doing. They read and analyze a variety of media formats to both inform them of current events and to exemplify the outcome of a journalist's work. Therefore, we use the Falcon, the school newspaper, to showcase the work of students.

The Falcon is compiled of student created article(s), podcast(s), and newscast(s).

This paper is a community project. The "village" from past and present have contributed to our efforts.

Falcon (verb) - to hunt with falcons; to track down...information. Get it?
