Photo Gallery: Great American Teach-In
Today I had the opportunity to address a group of students at Ruskin Elementary.
I explained to them the roles of different professions within the newspaper business and later did an exercise with them where six volunteers ‘role played’ as Editors, Reporters, Photographers, etc. They had to browse thru today’s Tampa Tribune and identify a sample of what their role in making the paper was. They were very inquisitive as to how the paper was produced, what each person did and even how much money each position made!
All in all I enjoyed very much talking to this group of third graders. I found them to be smart, well behaved and best of all respectful of our contribution.
