ReplyDeleteThis story is about how the Armenian' class at Watertown High School was possibly not going to be continued because the teacher was no longer at the school. They could not continue to teach students at a basic level but they now have a class for students who already know some Armenian and they learn about the culture by searching through ArMedia

The journalist told the story in very good detail, explaining how the class began and how it was nearly saved from being cancelled.

ReplyDeleteThe role of the Journalist ; is to tell the people how the class is ran and what the class is all about, meaning... the hands down work that they do, such as the blogging at the beginning of class, also the media that is mixed in with the blogs that the students post at the beginning of class.

ReplyDeleteThe story is that there is a new media/armenian class at Watertown high. The class was almost cut but the teacher volunteered her time instead. Instead of a regular language class this one incorporates media and learning about the Armenian culture. The reporter covers the story by interviewing the teacher and giving background information about the class. For example she talked about how the class almost got cut due to the budget. She talked about how the class uses a lot of media. The reporter also made a video of the teachers explaining the class. This gave me a better idea of what the class is about.
ReplyDeleteI never even heard of that class before and it sounds like that video is trying the make the best pitch to students to take that class.
