Last month Sunshine Coast teacher Jodi Thomas contacted Kids on the Coast for help. A group of Year 5, 6 and 7 kids at Pacific Paradise Primary School were learning all about the publishing industry and planning to put together their very own magazine. They asked if Editor Sarah Pye could come and talk to them about the process of putting a magazine together.Sarah jumped at the chance and on Tuesday August 11 she was met by about 50 smiling faces. With student Hayden controlling the keyboard and advancing PowerPoint slides, the kids learned about story planning, writing, editing, advertising, printing and production. Jodi said the presentation was just what the kids needed and, with a few new tools in their editing box, they will soon be writing feature articles, book reviews and advertisements for their own publication. Watch this space as we follow their progress and celebrate with these budding publishers at their upcoming launch.
