Students Become Published Journalists

From Rocky Point Schools: Creativity and outstanding writing talents have led fourth-grade students in Patricia Alberti’s class at Rocky Point’s Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School the opportunity to become published authors in an upcoming edition of Newsday’s Kidsday.

For the past several weeks the students have been working with editor Pat Mullooly to draft a variety of feature articles, surveys and puzzles in collaboration and independently. In addition to their work in the classroom, four students were invited to the Paramount Theater in Huntington to interview America's Got Talent sensation "We Three." “The students prepared well-researched questions, as all good journalists do,” said Ms. Alberti. “They were treated to free seats at the concert that night!” The class’s completed works will be published in Newsday from July 13-19.
