Economics And Finance High School

We are teaching for the first time at the Economics and Finance High School near Wall Street. We have a very enthusiastic class of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. In our first semester, we focused on media literacy and news analysis by looking at stereotypes of youth in the media, writing op-eds, and producing vox pops and audio commentaries. The students also learned how to use the minidisc recorders and how to conduct a good interview. Now, in our second semester, the students are working on feature stories. Their topics cover a broad range; from sneakers to dreams to why love makes you crazy! Because we have limited equipment, conducting interviews can be challenging, but everyone sticks with it. They've recorded some great sound effects stories and some great vox pops. Stay tuned to hear more from the kids at EFHS!
