Students who join the MTH Journalism Club can expect monthly opportunities to publish their writing and receive feedback from peers. We will explore several genres of journalism including writing, data summary, photography, art, and video!
Students' work will be published in our very own MTH Blog (actual title pending). Students should expect to produce five separate pieces of writing and to come prepared with their finished pieces before the club meetings on which they are due. Journalism Club is a low stakes opportunity for students to improve their writing, take risks and find their voice!
