Description: |
In this lessons, students will compare two similar (but actually very different) interviews. Both Stephen Colbert (on The Colbert Report) and Terry Gross (on NPR's Fresh Air) interviewed journalist Jose Antonio Vargas after he disclosed his status as an undocumented immigrant in a New York Times article. These interviews are very different, and while students are usually attracted by Colbert's style, they eventually see that Gross runs a much better interview.... |

Scholast Press Law Background |

Journalism |
| |
Grade: |

| |
Description: |
This lesson is a brief overview of Scholastic Press Law, as it applies to student journalists in the State of California. It begins with the First Amendment, which is where press rights originate from. It discusses three landmark Supreme Court cases that have influenced student press rights: Tinker, Fraser, and Hazelwood. It concludes with a description of California Ed. Code 48907, which provides student journalists substantially more rights than are currently guranteed by Supreme Court rulings.
Please note that I'm a journalism adviser and not a lawyer. The information contained in this presentation is accurate to the best of my knowledge. Also, please note that it will not apply to all journalism programs - particularly those in private schools or outside of California.... |

News Reporting |

Grade: |

Description: |
This lesson is for my Journalism class. The goal is to define reporting. Often students will be assigned a topic, but will do minimal research. They tell the reader what the reader already knows. This is especially true in the case of opinion pieces, which students often use as a diary entry rather than an opportunity to support an opinion with facts. This lesson works best after students have written first drafts and before they write subsequent drafts of articles. ... |
