Young Magazine Editor! March 12, 2008
Posted by Michelle in General.trackback
When I got in from work yesterday, Beth started telling me about an idea she had had, to produce a magazine for her class. She already had 2 helpers, and was making fliers to give out, to get 2 more volunteers.
They had already decided on competitions, jokes, puzzles etc, so I discussed with her the idea of having news about her class and the school, and reporting back on events.. ideas she also liked. She sat and listed their plans, so they could talk to their teacher this morning.
After school today, she was pleased to report that they had chosen their 2 new volunteers, and that her teacher was very happy to help out. She’s already written out the first draft, ready to go over it with her friends tomorrow.
Considering that she’s only 9, and it was all her own idea, do we have a future editor in the making?! 
What a fantastic idea! I would loved to have done something like that in school. She’ll go far I’m sure.
Tell Beth I think that’s so cool! I really hope she can follow through on this and get her magazine published.
She’s a very bright girl, but then, she’s YOUR daughter–how could she not be a genius?
LOL! If you say so!
Actually, it was a struggle for me to simply guide her, and give suggestions.. and not take over!
That’s fantastic! My sister and I used to write newspapers and magazines when we were kids, but it was always just for the two of us for fun. Beth’s obviously got the right idea here though!
WOW!!! She’s AMAZING! And good for you not taking over! That’s tough. I hear you.
Aw bless her, I would love to see the finished product!
Oh bless her, that’s fab! Are you going to review the magazine when it’s published?
How wonderful! I’m excited to hear how this comes along!
Nici, I’m sure you’ll get to see it!
Lucy - very funny!
It seems to be progressing at quite a speed.. see next blog about it!
