JOURNALISM

Being a journalist is an exciting job - and we think learning about it is exciting too! Some people think that being a journalist only involves writing, but in fact, before any writing can take place, a journalist has to read and listen to information, and talk to people to get their stories - and that is exactly what you will learn to do in this class! You will not only learn about journalism, but you will practice being a journalist. There will be a final class project that will involve one or several aspects of being a journalist.

The day was Sunday. The phone ringing wouldn’t stop ringing. So I had to answer the phone. My friend called me at 10 a.m. She told me that her friends would be going to paddle at Zilker park.
