About Seller

Consistency in articles and layout is the key for producing quality high school newspapers. The two rubrics posted here are used by the staff on The Stinger, our school newspaper. After compiling student feedback, I chose to focus on the points that cause the most stress, and those which the class has deemed the most important for creating quality pieces and for meeting the monthly deadlines. The layout guidelines refer to the InDesign CS4 program. Although I sell the Taboo Words and Phrases list as a separate posting, since I referred to it in the Articles Rubric, I have included it here. Also included is a sample News article by a young man who shows consistent quality writing. He has given his permission for me to include his piece.

Are there worksheets that go with this package or is it just information?

First of all, thank you for purchasing this product. This is an informational packet for teachers and students who publish a school newspaper. It is meant to help the class organize their time, set criteria for articles and layouts and to offer a rubric for grading articles. After struggling through my first year of sponsoring our school's paper, I knew that the students and I had to set specific expectations and guidelines so articles and layouts would be consistent, to lessen the stress of putting together a publication, and to meet deadlines. These guidelines settled arguments between students about articles and layouts and banished many headaches for all of us.

The following postings include a number of of worksheets where students analyze what comprises journalism articles and practice writing leads and types of journalistic articles, i.e. News, Features, Sports, Reviews and Editorials.
Analyzing Newspaper Leads and Articles Worksheets
Whole Course Lessons and Worksheets, and
Journalism Reporting Practice Worksheets

I hope this response helps.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Grades Taught:

Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Homeschooler

Subject Area:

Creative Writing, English Language Arts, Journalism

Because one of my goals is to prove that studying literature, writing, vocabulary and grammar can be fun, I have created a number of innovative lessons for these strands of learning. So far, I have 143 products posted in my store. In March 2013, my book, The House of Comprehension, will be published by Compass, an imprint of Brigantine Media. Based on Common Core Standards, the program and accompanying activities with Teacher Notes encourages students to construct durable houses of comprehension by combining the study of the elements of literature with any text. Watch for notices about the availability of this book here, and on my website www.teachitwrite.com. Check out the book on http://conniecasserly.weebly.com. As for my products here, veteran teachers and those new to the field can utilize the hands on units and ideas for teaching while honing their skills on how to pace a lesson and to connect it to their state's standards of learning. I am a recently retired (2011) English teacher in the Fairfax County Virginia public school system, where I taught English 12, Journalism 1,2,3 & 4 and Creative Writing 1, 2, & 3. As a result of the Teacher Performance Evaluation instituted by the county, I was awarded the prestigious Career Two Exemplary level status three times. Besides the public high school venue, my teaching background includes an alternative secondary school for behaviorally disadvantaged adolescents, an adolescent psychiatric hospital, and a boys' reform school. Proud of my choice to be an educator, I have always hated the cliche, "Those that can, do; those that can't teach." Through my writing and my role modeling in the classroom, I show that not only do I teach, but I also practice what I preach.
