Goal

To re-establish a student literary magazine at Golden Gate High School. Golden Gate High School's literary magazine has been dormant for the past eight years and it's time for a revival! 

What will be done with my students

The involvement of students at GGHS will be two-fold:

EDITORIAL & PRODUCTION STAFF: There will be a core group of students who comprise the Literary Magazine Club who, in addition to contributing their writing to the magazine, will be engaged in the editing, layout and production of the magazine.

CONTRIBUTORS: All students at GGHS may contribute their original writing to the magazine.
 

Benefits to my students

The school literary magazine will provide Golden Gate High School students with an outlet for creative expression where they can see their words in print and develop confidence in their ideas. The students will also have the opportunity to hone their writing skills in a supportive environment though their interaction with student editors.

The Florida Standards align with the purpose of this project.

LAFS.1112.W.1.3 Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well-chosen details, and well-structured event sequences.

LAFS.1112.W.2.6 Use technology, including the Internet, to produce, publish, and update individual or shared writing products in response to ongoing feedback,
including new arguments or information,

LAFS.1112.W.4.10 Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of tasks, purposes, and audiences.


 

Budget Narrative

Startup funds will be needed to produce the inaugural edition of the magazine. However, the financial goal of the club is to then be self-funding by producing a quality magazine that students could purchase at a minimal cost which would fund future editions of the magazine. Students would be involved not only in the writing, editing and design of the magazine but also the production, advertisement and sale of the magazine.
