The production cycle keeps the students focused through routine. It is a three-week cycle and they know what to expect each week. They know when things are due and what days are more intense than others. This helps them plan their school schedules, which transfers to the rest of their lives, resulting in students who are more organized and able to multi-task. Having a clear staff structure means that each student's role is well defined. When Juniors begin Advanced Journalism they typically have a partner to work with on page editing. Once they are Seniors they have observed what the editors-in-chief, associate editors and business managers do for a year. This helps them to understand what is expected of these very different roles. The link below illustrates a typical production cycle in advanced journalism. Here each stage of the
production is described and linked to a video clip of students in action. This next link illustrates the hierarchical staff structure. Each student role is described and video
clips of students describing their jobs can be viewed.
