Our next issue will come out next week, and it will feature opinion pieces about the value of teachers, a news story on a push to increase the rigor in our classes, athletic stories about how our sports teams are funded, a back page feature of home schooled students, and a c-spread about Facebook and privacy.
All of these stories are interesting and relevant to our school, but I am particularly proud of the work my students did regarding the facebook story. They created a fictional student that attended our high school along with photos and a back story, and they got 70 students to accept their friendship request within in one week, and two students requested them as friends. They put together a story on the risks students take in their list of friends on facebook with information from experts about how students should use facebook.
We have started, again, a process by which all students will be contributing content to the web. It is a lot to manage, and it seems like it could even be its own class, but hopefully, we'll have content coming in on a regular basis.
