Katherine Lewis, JE Jones Elementary School, Cudahy

To aid my students in development of their public speaking and writing skills, I have developed and implemented a new announcement format at my school, entitled WJEJ radio, wherein JEJ stands for JE Jones elementary school. My students share announcments each morning spotlighting exciting classroom and behavior sightings taking place throughout the school. Currently, my students are taking over the script writing aspects of each WJEJ broadcast. The number of skills my sixth graders are developing are numerous. These include enunciation, diction, sentence fluency, propaganda techniques, character development, marketing and advertising tactics, and elements of six trait writing; all while having fun and developing a sense of school pride at the same time.
