Hello all, advice/thoughts/experience/opinions if poss pls.
Eldest is in yr 9 of good local comp and is keen to be a writer/producer/somethingorother, so I suggested he starts writing for the school magazine like you hear writers did when they were young.
Problem is, there isn't one.
I remember a termly publication when I was young on samizdat-style printouts but I suppose you could easily do an e-zone thing now via the school website.
I've chatted to him about the possibilities and he seems open to suggesting it so we're going to have a think...any thoughts?
Should be doable, right?
Ask pupils for contributions, they've mail em in, pupils selects and lays them out and e mails document back to school for approval and publication on website.
What does anyone think? Doable? Or am I missing things that will complicate it.
He could be part of an editorial group of pupils or something and it could develop over a few months into something quite good.
The only thing i can think of is if nasty older pupils e mailed in not-nice stuff anonymously and the kids were exposed to it. How to prevent that?
Anyway, I think this could potentially be a good idea and I'm sure it's already happening so any experience and knowledge of it would be great
I'll leave it with you but thanks in advance
