This fall, the LAMP is in residency with P.S. 107, exploring news and reporting with third graders.  In the workshops held twice a week for six weeks, students will explore the news and how it is made, exploring what makes news, where it comes from, how it is made, how it changes in print and digital formats, the use of text and pictures to tell a story, and more.  Students will also work hands-on in creating their own news stories, conducting interviews, writing and researching stories, while also creating and editing photography and video footage.

If you are interested in having the LAMP at your school, we would love to speak with you.  We can design curricula tailored to your needs and interests. Please call us at 718-789-8170 or send us an email.
