For three hours over three days, two groups of 6th, 7th and 8th graders gathered together to produce real journalism focused on their peers who were attending the annual STEM Camp at Mountlake Terrace High School. These “J-Campers” learned about about the basics of journalism – including reporting, writing, photojournalism, design and layout. By the end of the third day on Thursday, Aug. 22, these students had collaborated in 10 small groups to create some incredibly impressive center spreads. Here are the PDFs from those groups divided by the morning (A.M.) session and afternoon (P.M.) session.
