Second Graders' Journalism Debut

GBC Digital Team16
The second graders from The KAUST School came to visit the Communications Department this morning, for a mini workshop about newspapers. Click below for photos and to see their front pages.

After sharing what they have been learning in their current unit about communication and how they express themselves, each class participated in a workshop creating their own front page of a newspaper. The students developed a headline and photo caption to accompany a collection of their own creative expressions, in the form of poetry.

At the end of the workshop, each second grader got to take home their very own special edition Beacon front page! Click below to read their front pages:

Thanks to everyone at the Communication Department for this great learning experience. It’s a powerful thing for children to see their words printed in a real newspaper. We learned so much about how a front page is made. Thanks again to everyone there!
