Class Magazine

The class magazine can be a useful tool to improve writing skills on several topics (which might be taken from literature, articles and so on ) using different kinds of sources (pieces of literature, magazines, newspapers, etc) .

Students are encouraged to write on a topic which is assigned weekly. Just for example:

What does being a hero mean (in the literary sagas, nowadays and so on..)?

Writing a magazine requires a great deal of student responsibility and accountability. It encourages independence and provides that critical real-world connection to what we do in the English classroom, which often seems detached from daily practicalities. The teacher-advisor and a staff of students are responsible for selecting the topics, editing them, and posting on the magazine. They must set goals, make decisions, and succeed at creating a product that is important to them.

The school magazine is a fairly inexpensive way to provide students with a voice, as well as an audience for their writing. It also provides a great opportunity for students to write creatively and explore topics outside of the classroom.
