新聞學基礎

Sessions: 5 sessions When: October 2026 Grade Focus: Grades 6–8 (all members) Source Models: Paly Beginning Journalism · JEA Media Literacy Unit

Purpose

Establish a shared vocabulary and philosophy of journalism before any writing begins. Mirrors the opening unit of Paly's Beginning Journalism class and a media literacy → craft → production progression, drawn from JEA's curriculum resources. No full-length article is written in this module — the product is curiosity, critical reading, and one short reported blurb (Session 5).
