I am currently enrolled in journalism class. In this class we are given approximately two weeks to write one article. As of the completion of my last article (“Agents Confused” check it out, it’s pretty great), I have exhausted my ideas on what to write about. Given this development, I have resolved to explain this class and its goings on.
Journalism class is relatively enjoyable, as classes go. I’d say it’s also easy, again, as classes go. It’s also one of the only classes that allows you to truly speak your mind. You can say that one class or another allows you to speak your mind, but that’s the teacher allowing it. Journalism class by nature requires you to speak your mind. We just recently learned how to upload articles on our own, completely separate from the teacher. The class itself is the very definition of independence in school. The journalism staff is not a group of students interested in writing who signed up to write for the benefit of the school. It is literally the journalism class, just kids in a class, and yet we are entrusted with the freedom to write what we want (relatively), when we want and even how we want. The class even has its own website! Of all the classes offered at JHS, only one has its own place for a student and his or her classmates to write their ideas, feelings, and even their own news stories. Now as this article is beginning to sound like it was written by someone hired by the journalism teacher, I’ll wrap it up.
In conclusion, I recommend this class to any student at JHS, and I recommend the articles to anyone who would like to read the early works of future geniuses like me…and the other students, I guess.
