freemanfamilyof6 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Has anyone found a good unit study or curriculum on journalism? Looking for something brief to teach the basics to my middle schooler, but she can easily do the work if it is high school level. We will be possibly using Byline next Fall, but I am looking for something much shorted to finish out the school term. She has a opportunity to submit a story for a local magazine, but I want her to know the basics before she starts the writing process. Thanks.

Peaceseeker Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Have you seen Cover Story? http://www.coverstorywriting.com Not entirely just journalism but it looks fun and is geared for middle schoolers. It might be longer than what you are looking for though! Edited January 26, 2018 by CaliforniaDreaming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
