TO SUPPORT OUR CURRICULUM: Subscription and continued lesson plans on Cover the Assignment.

COVER THE ASSIGNMENT tm – is an ongoing lesson plan that allows the youth or adult learner a continued participation with the curricula and real life experience. All youth participate as reporters, videographers and gather and write and report! Ongoing assignments are available to the youth.

Annually we provide quarterly updates with lesson plans and special projects ideas to support holidays and events. (Example: Month of the Military Child/Flag Day/Veteran’s Day). We provide a customer service line, and also with bundle/packages staff support and training.

All of the A Backpack Journalist content is easily aligned to standards required by each state and support what is called the CORE CURRICULUM. Today, with the emphasis on the STEM, multiple schools are finding that writing is a key component for success.

WORKSHOP FORMAT:

ALL of our modules ROTATE, our workshops are considered “unique” . Thus, a student/youth/adult learner will find that these rotations will allow for a productive learning experience in that one or all of the modules will allow each to find “their road to their own internal voice”.
