and I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew.

I'm also doing a weekly TV broadcast but I have that well in hand.
For that, there is the Audio-Visual Club who are pretty competent at filming, and I've also got parents to help write scripts and direct.

But this newspaper thing is a bit more frightening:

1. How to get started? the Korean kids are a bit irresponsible and childish. If I can get the first edition done then I think they will see what it's all about and be well motivated. But how to get the ball rolling?

2. Should it be a printed thing or do it on the web?

3. I got many ideas about how to teach news topics from www.nwanews.com/nie - should I be teaching or just concentrate on editing their writing?

4. Should they write their first draft on paper, or have them do all work in the computer room?

5. They have 16 hours in a month - that should be enough time to produce something?

6. Any smart ideas to make it all go easier?

Idea Confused

There was some recent discussion about doing something similar for middle schools/high schools. Check it out here:
