Digital Photojournalism (Beginning and Advanced)
–Student photographers from all levels are invited to work on everything from capturing the perfect moment to Photoshop techniques. We cover the basics of photojournalism and Photoshop. You will learn how to master your digital camera, how to capture motion, and how to prepare those photos for publication, in print or on the Web. Students will need to bring their own digital cameras.
Storytelling: Feature and Sports Writing for Print and Digital Media
–Students will explore different types of stories, generate story ideas, refine writing skills and learn to be storytellers for their school. We will look at examples of effective features — in sports, news and entertainment — and write some of our own. Whether students plan to write for yearbook, newspaper and/or the Web site, this class will help them become great storytellers.
