Journalism
PhotoJournalism

Students in my Journalism and Photojournalism come to a production classroom. In these classes, we use current technology to create the Islander Yearbook, School Newspaper, web pages for the school site, the graduation programs and
graduation slide show. Even though the work is stressful and demanding, students appreciate doing each step for a real-life reason.

Art
Art is a content area where thinking is vital to the success of students. I keep my approach "hand's on," with problem solving as the focus. I don't always tell the students what I want them to learn but lead them to discovery by giving them activities that naturally end with students "finding" the knowlege on their own. Students who learn in this way never forget this new knowledge. Students who take art classes learn about different cultures and historical periods, as well as learn to understand and discuss art in an intelligent manner.
