Deadlines, yearbook pages, and even more. The journalism class is responsible for all of these things. The journalism students have to produce a paper, work on a yearbook and write daily powwows. All of this is happening everyday. It’s a lot of hard work that tends to get harshly criticized by not only students, but teachers too. Nothing is wrong with constructive criticism, but that’s not usually what the journalism students are receiving. Some students who are not in journalism think that it’s just a laid-back class with no grades or work involved at all. They think that journalism students have a month and a half to write one story and take one picture, and they still turn out crappy. These assumptions, however, are not true. Journalism students do get graded in this class, have more than one story to write for each issue, and every single week are working on yearbook pages too. In fact, if someone misspells a person’s name on their yearbook page, they get a zero out of fifty points. Journalism students get graded for every story, every daily powwow, and every yearbook page they do.
