Gazette

Course Description: Throughout the course of the year, learners will develop, design, and write for a monthly Gazette to exercise writing shorter pieces for an audience. The balance of writing well, while under a deadline, creates workplace experiences in the course. Students pick topics and prompts that interest their audience and write to inform and entertain an audience. Gazette editions can be thematic or generalized based on learner target audiences. Every month, the course returns learners to the planning board to cycle the publication rotation.
