The OHS Observer

It’s said that journalism is the “first rough draft of history.” Come, contribute to this first draft of history, and develop your skills of journalistic writing in the OHS Observer homeroom. Join Rebecca Shields, Director of the OHS Writing and Tutoring Center for a weekly deep dive into the world of journalism. Learn the ins and outs of sourcing, the creation of narrative, and the processes of publishing news articles according to AP style--from arts and culture reviews to in-depth investigations. Along the way, students will participate in New York Times student journalism contests and develop individual e-Portfolios in which they reflect on their growth as journalists. Club meeting time will be announced after the start of the year. You do not need to enroll in this homeroom to be a member of the club.
