Welcome to 2009-2010 J-Squad Blog

Time to make history!

It is often said that Journalism is the first version of history. For your Grade 11 Journalism blogs (Unit 12) you will engage in history-making!

I am anticipating an exciting year full of great ideas, amazing work, and stimulating discussion. Most of all, I am looking forward to getting to know and appreciate all of you!You will be required to create a blog, SPECIFICALLY for this course. This blog will be a journal which will contain your thoughtful responses to questions relating to current issues or themes relating to journalism.I will post journal entry questions at certain points throughout the year. You will be required to complete 6 entries, consisting of around 300 words each and appropriate supporting visuals. Your work on the blog will fulfill one unit for Journalism.This unit intends to explore "the weblog" as an emerging form of communication and expression. I invite all of you to share your ideas and practice your writing and communication skills through this unit and course. Happy blogging!
