JOURNALISM ADVISERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Doreen T. says, This helped me SO MUCH with the first journalism class I’ve ever taught. The powerpoints are amazing – very informative, thorough, and visually appealing. Not sure what I would have done without this resource! .

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Midwestern Miss says, “Omgoodness! As a teacher who hasn’t taught journalism in 8 years, this saved me! I was able to print and go. The kids loved being able to create their own AP mini books and were laughing at each other’s crafting abilities. Bringing some artistic time into the room before we start the yearbook!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Geneva W. says, “Thank you for this amazing resource! I am teaching a journalism class for the second time this year. Last year I bought a few of your lessons, but this year I splurged on the whole package, and I am so thankful that I did! It really has been an essential part of building my journalism class. Pretty much everything is taken care of for me, and I feel confident in presenting the materials even though journalism is not my strength.
