JournalismClub Club visits visits real Journalism real newspaper newspaper By Thomas LeClair - Grade 5
Have you ever wondered what it is like going to a place where they make newspapers? Well today you will learn about the field trip we took to where they make The Sun newspaper. We learned about how they make the newspaper, edit the newspaper and, write the newspaper. The person who showed us around even showed us how to make the newspaper come alive (I will explain in a little bit). First I will tell you how they make the newspaper. The reporters start out by writing stories and the designers start putting ads together. Then, when the stories and the ads are done, they go into a room where there is a machine that makes sure there are no mistakes in the stories or ads. Then to print the newspaper they use a big machine to color the paper. The colors have to be lined up perfectly to have the color come out perfectly. Then the newspaper comes out of the machine.
That’s how they make the newspaper. They also have to edit the newspaper. They edit the newspaper by people and machines. The reporters give their articles to the editors and the editors edit the article for the newspaper. The machine part of it is when there is a bad copy of the newspaper the machine is able to detect it and the machine automatically throws the copy away. The reporters write long stories about what happens. The newspaper comes out with all the news. The reporters write all of the stories, news, and whatever else happens during the day or days before that one. That is who writes the stories. The person who was showing us around also showed us how you can make the newspaper come ALIVE!!!!!! He said that there was an app that can make a person talk when

you point the camera at them which I thought was insane. He said that the app lets a person speak to you. All you have to do is download an app and the next time you get the newspaper, all you have to do is click a button on the app and point
the camera at the person and that person will speak to you. We all had a lot of fun down at the newspaper center. If you get the chance to visit I would recommend you go to The Sun newspaper center. To sum up the trip, we all learned a lot and had a lot of fun.
The History of voting of in the USA The History voting in the USA By Porter Goodman - Grade 5
If you want to vote in the U.S.A you must be 18 years old, and a U.S citizen. Voting is a privilege to those who are able to give their opinion on something or someone. Voting goes back to the early Jamestown voyages in the 1600’s. In the 1800’s the
fifteenth Amendment was signed making it official that people regardless of race or color were given the right to vote. On August 18, 1920 women were allowed to vote.
