The interactive experience will be accompanied by learning materials developed by WJMC partners and educators. Learning material will be a supplement to the live, interactive components of the program.
Reading List and Pre-recorded Content
WJMC Staff and educators will provide a suggested reading list of articles, books, and blogs that cover a broad range of journalism and media topics. All reading materials are optional and are a mix of classic journalism references, current interesting pieces, and relevant topic materials that will assist students through the program and beyond.
Pre-recorded videos will be a mix of existing content and content specially designed for this program. Videos will include interesting journalism productions as well as work completed by program speakers.
Check-out Quizzes
Check-out quizzes provide students with an opportunity to go beyond the speaker events and directed discussion sessions to push their understanding and thoughts on program content further. Quizzes will include open-ended questions, and responses will not be evaluated. Students should use the check-out quizzes as a directed writing exercise to keep their thoughts in one place. Students will have access to their response after the program is complete.
Program Simulation
The program simulation is an opportunity for students to use creativity, collaboration, and learning skills. Students will be placed into small groups to develop a product that they will share with program students and staff
