The teaching staff of our school
In elementary school, we were taught by the same teacher, taught all subjects, was the class teacher, and we didn’t think about how many teachers there were in our school. But when we moved to 5th grade, everything changed a lot. We met more and more new teachers and were surprised to realize that there were much more of them than we thought. And on the eve of Teacher's Day, we collected information about the teaching staff. This is what we got. It turns out that there are 17 teachers in our school, of which 15 are women and 2 are men. The team is quite young: the average age is 39 years. 5 teachers under the age of 35.

Ideal teacher

What kind of ideal teacher is he?

We addressed this question to the students of our school. What qualities should you have, how to teach a lesson, how to relate to children? I really want to understand how children see an exemplary teacher. Every teacher is interested in finding out what children want us to be like, whether we correspond to their ideas. We publish some of our works in our newspaper.

***

I believe that a teacher should, first of all, be such that one would like to follow an example from him, so that in his lesson there would be a desire to listen to his subject with pleasure. Well, of course, I would really like to see a kind, smart, balanced teacher on my path of life .

***

An ideal teacher should know his subject well, which he explains to his students. Everyone will love him, take his class with pleasure, and understand the subject. All the teachers in our school are good. My favorite subjects are mathematics, physics, geography, history.

***

An ideal teacher should be kind and love his job. The teacher must impart his knowledge to the students. In general, a teacher should value his work.

***

My point of view shows that the ideal teacher is one who explains well, helps with homework, and is someone you can consult with.

-I knew it! That’s why yesterday, when I was teaching geography, he sat on my shoulder and studied the atlas so carefully!
- Vovochka, how to determine where south is? - asks the teacher.

We need to look at the tree. If the tree is a palm tree, then south is here.

During a physics lesson, the teacher asks Vasya: “Tell me how a transformer works.”

-The transformer works like this: “Uuuuuu!”

And what did he answer?

He said, "Thank God."

-Perhaps, Mr. Teacher, I wrote the essay with his pen.
Vovochka comes running home from school. “Dad, congratulations!”

Why son?

You don't have to spend money on new textbooks. I stayed for a second year!

From school essays
1. Poor Lisa picked flowers and fed her mother with this.

2. Olya ate a bagel along with the dog who was running ahead.

3.And then he took a knife and shot himself.

4. She spoke unintelligibly because her teeth were braided.

5. The picture shows a girl, a dog and her grandmother.

6. A boy and a girl entered the class; they were brothers.

7. The cyclists rode along a mountain road for a long time, got tired, sat down under a bush, did their job and moved on.

Currently, the media have a serious impact on the lives of the younger generation. How can you help your child not get lost in such a flow? A school newspaper will be an excellent option for a child to master information skills.

Significance

Creating a school newspaper is a responsible undertaking, involvement in which allows you to develop communication skills and teamwork. In addition, such an activity is an excellent means of education, a good incentive to increase interest in the educational process. How is a school newspaper created? Schools try to use it to inform children and their parents about the most interesting events taking place in the life of an educational institution.

Work on regular news releases involves the direct participation of schoolchildren in various social events, consideration of serious social problems, and expression of their own point of view about events taking place at school.

Periodical printed publication

The school newspaper is a periodical publication that publishes materials about all current events. The production volume ranges from 2 to 50 strips. Unlike other periodicals, a school newspaper can be published once a week, a month or a quarter. Different styles and genres in its design are acceptable. Most of the space should be allocated to journalistic works and operational information. For example, interviews and essays that talk about teachers and the best students of an educational institution are popular.

A school newspaper is a great start for future poets, writers, and correspondents. Such materials may be dedicated to a national holiday or an interesting event organized in a specific educational institution.

Classification of newspapers

They are usually divided according to the frequency of release into daily, weekly, and monthly options. For schools, the monthly option is considered optimal.

Depending on the size of readers and area of ​​distribution, newspapers are divided into regional, district, local, large-circulation, and national. Within the framework of the educational institution, it is planned to release a local version

By the nature of the release, such a publication is a mixture of entertainment, commercial, and advertising. The founder of the school newspaper is an educational institution, so the target audience will be schoolchildren, teachers, and parents of students.

The calling card of any publication is its name. It should be bright, memorable, unusual. For example, a school publication can be called:

• "For you and for your friends."
• "School BOOM."
• "Our friendly family."
• "Planet of our friendship."

In order to come up with a name for the newspaper, you can announce a competition at school.

Finally

The prototype of the modern newspaper was ancient handwritten books. Julius Caesar published the Acts of the Senate, and in 911 the Jin Bao appeared in China. Much time has passed since those distant times, but the newspaper has not lost its relevance and relevance among readers.

In school life, filled with bright and interesting events, a printed publication is an excellent way to systematize all events. Currently, young publicists, poets, and photographers are successfully publishing their printed publications in almost all Russian schools.

Quite often, children are involved in issues of the school newspaper as part of their additional education. For example, in an educational institution a school of young journalists is created, whose responsibilities include thinking through the layout, content, as well as the actual publication of the school printed publication.

Project topic:

"School newspaper"

Educational institution:

Vishnevsky branch of the municipal budgetary educational institution "Secondary school No. 4" in the village of Prokhory, Spassky district, Primorsky Territory

Problem
The school does not have its own printed publication.

Relevance of the project

A school is a living, rapidly changing organism. During the academic year, a lot of events, exciting events, promotions, and holidays take place. I want to remember and save all this. And also to acquaint residents of the local community, students of area schools with what is happening in our school, what activists and school students are doing. Until now, the school did not have its own printed publication. Therefore, this project was developed, which involves creating the newspaper “School Lighthouse” and educating schoolchildren, introducing them to the basics of the journalistic craft, speaking in the press, covering all school affairs, actions, as well as school problems, and instilling in students an active life position of creative thinking.

The important role of the school newspaper is noted by the schoolchildren themselves.
A survey on the topic “Is there a need to publish a school newspaper at school?”, conducted in grades 5-11, showed the following results:

a) positive answer – 89%

b) negative answer – 4%

c) undecided on the answer – 7%.

The newspaper will present material both from school life and information taken from the Internet and from various sources.

Project implementation plan:

Stage 2 - Creation of a creative team. Distribution of functional responsibilities for newspaper production .

To publish and distribute a newspaper, first of all, you need a strong team. The editorial board includes a group of 7th grade students. All assignments are distributed on a voluntary basis and are replaceable during the creative process. The founder of the newspaper is 7th grade.

Distribution of editorial responsibilities.

Regular publication of the school newspaper once every quarter.

Stage 5 - Scheme for organizing the publication of a school newspaper.

Each issue of the newspaper represents a kind of task related to the need to reveal a certain topic. The topic allows students to unite their articles with a common idea, and make their work focused.

List of newspaper sections:“From the director’s office” - wishes and parting words from the school director for the coming month; "Editor's Message"; “School news” - section - review of school events and events that took place over the past month; “A Coward Doesn't Play Hockey” - covering sporting events and achievements; “Don’t pass by” - social media surveys of students and teachers on various topics, because you always want to know the opinions of your friends; the “Everything is going according to plan” section, which introduces students to what events await them; “Coffee with Cream” - telling about various interesting people in our school, it’s great to see your friends on the pages of the school newspaper, and it’s even better to learn something new about them; “Today a student, tomorrow a genius” - it is impossible to allow the students’ talents to go unnoticed; “Congratulations” - where everyone can congratulate their teacher or classmate on the holiday; page for parents “Educated parents - successful children”; "Jokes" - jokes, funny quotes. Many sections are aimed at ensuring that all students can take part in the creation of the newspaper - these include competitions, congratulations, and greetings through the newspaper.

Stage 6 – Work on the publication of the newspaper (creation of the front page, journalistic genres, modern newspaper design, layout principles). “What should we put at the beginning of the issue?”, “How are we going to open the issue?” The answers will vary depending on the focus of the publication. You can adhere to different criteria in the selection: give priority to the most “fresh” (i.e., the most recent) information; bring to the fore some particularly striking event; talk about the decision of the administration and authorities. The front page headline is fundamental: it must grab the reader's attention and make him want to read the article. Illustrations (photos, drawings) and color are additional elements that enhance the attractiveness of the title. The front page of a newspaper is its showcase.

Layout of the remaining parts of the newspaper: materials are distributed by topic (reports, poetry, reader mail, school life, etc.), each of which has a permanent place in the newspaper so that the reader can easily find the section that interests him. A hierarchy is determined for each page: more significant materials are placed at the top, and photographs, various kinds of frames and decorations, and font combinations should give all parts of the newspaper a harmonious shape that is pleasing to the eye.

Articles have their own structure: a title, and sometimes additional subheadings; a “header” that provides the main content in a few lines for quick reference; "attack", i.e. the first shock phrase, designed to surprise, shock, attract attention, and arouse the desire to continue reading; inserts, the purpose of which is to maintain the reader’s interest and lead him further; and, of course, the ending - a bright final part.

Financial and logistical support of the project.

Technical means for work:

Computers, printer, scanner, digital camera.

Media resources used

Working with programs: MS Publisher, Adobe Photoshop, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, MS Excel, MS Paint, AABBYY Fine Reader resources, Internet, school website.

Estimate (for 1 academic year).

III. Final (final) Part

Conclusions: Creating a school newspaper is one of the ways to increase the cognitive and creative activity of children and at the same time the result of project activities of schoolchildren.

The report on the work done is the release of the next issue of the newspaper. During the period of work on the project, we learned to communicate, collect and process information, became acquainted with media laws, learned to work with reference literature, gradually mastered the skills of the journalist profession, developed a culture of speech and improved literacy. Created favorable conditions for personal development.

Painstaking work on creating a school newspaper develops communication skills, increases students’ interest in their native language, and improves the information culture of project participants.

project development.

The school press center is very young, but the main steps towards creating a newspaper have already been taken. The name has been determined - “School Lighthouse”, newspaper format (volume - 4 pages, published once every quarter).

The plan is to publish a newspaper once a month.

The newspaper's circulation is limited, so there may be a need to make the school newspaper more accessible to students and parents. For this purpose, a page in the main menu called “Press Center” will be created on the school website with the help of a computer science teacher in order to expand the circle of communication, post operational information on the website, and familiarize everyone with the archive of the electronic school newspaper .

Commit yourself to it. Publishing a newspaper can be fun, but it also comes with a huge responsibility. Don't even start unless you plan to do it all year. If you initiate the publication of a newspaper, then you take on the role of editor. The editor's job is as follows:

• Monitor that all articles are ready on time (preferably in electronic form).
• Develop a template for articles.
• Edit and layout articles for printing.
• Write one article. The editor usually writes the article for the first page.

Get approval from the school. Arrange a meeting with the principal and discuss the idea of ​​creating a school newspaper. Remember, if you are rejected, you need to compromise.

Gather a team led by a teacher. This is vital to the success of the newspaper. The teacher will be able to give the necessary status to the newspaper, since he is a representative of the authorities. The teacher will first of all help ensure that all papers are written on time. If the process is controlled by the teacher, other team members will feel responsible. This will make your work much easier. Schoolchildren tend to procrastinate if there is no authority over them. Not only will the teacher ensure that papers are completed on time, but if you have a teacher participating with you, the team will be 80% less likely to refuse to participate. The teacher is also responsible for publication. Having received all the articles, he must edit them to fit a newspaper format and print them. This is a lot of responsibility for one teacher, so it is recommended to involve two teachers in the project. If you can't find a teacher for your newspaper, look for other options. Two schoolchildren can prepare good editions of a newspaper. You may need to prepare a parallel online version for the school website. Your school librarian may be happy to help. The main problem may be teachers who may be against team meetings in their classroom.

Layout of text. Organize a meeting for the whole team during recess or after class. Exchange email addresses so that articles can simply be copied from an email rather than reprinted. Also take your teacher's email address so you can send them the final printable copy.

Collect ideas for articles. Since you need 12 articles, brainstorm 12 topics. Some ideas are: games, drawing competition, short stories, horoscope, advice, random facts, sports, poetry or fashion. Once you've decided on your topics, open Word and sketch out bright, eye-catching headings. You can copy something from the Internet, but if the material has copyright, do not forget to provide a link to the original. Save the material on your computer if necessary. Do not forget that the newspaper must be of a standard format.

Make a schedule for publishing the newspaper for the whole year. Recommend your authors, when starting work on the first article for the first issue, to think through the second article in parallel, since anything happens in life: illness, vacation, household chores, etc. Also agree that if the article is not ready, the authors must notify you in advance so that you can find a replacement. Print out the schedule and distribute it to the whole team.

Funds collected. Consider options for investing the collected funds. Perhaps it's some school project, a local charity, or even a team party at the end of the year. Any event that will inspire and motivate project participants.

Think about what will be most acceptable. Use your common sense to evaluate what materials are appropriate for your school newspaper. Don't print Nothing, even remotely alluding to guns, violence, drugs, and generally illegal or inappropriate topics for school.

Seal. The teacher has to print the newspaper according to the schedule, and you have to fold it. Order 50 copies, and if the newspaper becomes popular and you can sell it quickly, print the next issue in 75 or 100 copies. Folding newspapers will take about 20 minutes, no more. If you have a large school, print more copies initially or make an online edition.
