I have spent some time looking for useful web sites for high school journalism teachers. Here’s what I found.
The AP Stylebook website has a stylebook available for online news writing. It also has an “Ask the Editor” column. http://www.apstylebook.com/
The next two sites deal with the legal rights in journalism.
This site states it is an “advocate for student free-press rights” and has “information, advise and legal assistance at no charge.” http://www.splc.org
Another site is “dedicated to free press, free speech, and free spirit for all people.” http://www.freedomforum.org
What would high school jounalism be without Tim Harrower? He has a web site that looks full of “stuff” put together in his amusing style. There is also a place to ask him questions. http://www.timharrower.com
Two web sites that offer much information including lesson plans are as follows.
http://www.teach-nology.com/teachers/lesson_plans/literature/journalism Some of the plans and projects look a bit dated, but they would still be useful.
Finally, there is the all-inclusive High School Journalism Organization. I wish I had more time to spend searching out all of their various departments. http://highschooljournalism.org/teachers/lesson_plans
