I proposed the idea to one of my classes of creating an electronic newsletter to cover their 7th grade year and they were very enthused. Typically, the middle school yearbook tends to have a stronger focus on 8th grade and it costs 30 bucks. So, my students are going to create a four page newsletter using one of the Word templates. We brainstormed to make a list of all of the field trips and special events from the year. From this list, they've chosen these sections for the newsletter: Sports, Teachers, Events, Drama, and Fun Stuff.
For the sports section they want to incorporate interviews with players and coaches, season overviews, and final stats. For the Teachers section they brainstormed ideas like birthdays, baby pictures, a goodbye interview with Mr. Cuevas, an introductory interview with Mrs. Vanwel, an update from a former beloved teacher and an article on the BCMS Teacher of the Year.
We're starting to research and write this week. Then we'll spend the last few days in the computer lab putting the newsletter together. I'll put a copy on my portfolio wiki page for you all to peruse at your leisure:)
