Wall Magazine

Punakha Higher Secondary School

Rationale

Writing is an imperative skill for one to grow creatively and intellectually. Like any valued skill, it has to be fueled by consistent practice and dedicated labor. The opportunity for our students to nurture their creative enthusiasm is in the school. Therefore, the Wall Magazine, like the Annual School Magazine, is a platform to recognize and develop the writing skill.

Contributors

All the classes will contribute articles to the Wall Magazine. The concerned class will post, decorate and maintain the Wall Magazine for two weeks. Within those two weeks the particular class will contribute twelve articles. For the first week, the class will post six articles on the theme given by the literary committee: they will post two poems, two essays and two stories. For the second week, the class will do the same with the category of the articles, but is free to post on any theme the students choose.

The Stakeholders (Roles)

TheClass Teacher will coordinate the posting and maintenance of the Wall Magazine. Before the articles are posted, the English teacher concerned will correct and do the necessary editing.Articles that have not been edited and signed by the concerned English Teacher will be rejected. The Class Captain will coordinate with the Literary Captain while posting the articles on the Wall Magazine.

The Literary Captain will inform the concerned class when it is their turn to post the articles one week before the time of their first posting. S/he will also assign the theme for the first week to the concerned class. The Literary Committee will give the themes. The Literary Captain will record the articles and the names of the students who have posted on the Wall Magazine.

Plagiarism

The students by all means are expected to be honest and post articles that are written by them. If a student is found to plagiarize any document, s/he will have to write an explanation letter to the Literary Committee and his or her character certificate will be marked on the basis of this offense.

Awards

The best articles will be awarded certificates(one from the senior level and one from the junior level) and will be published in the Annual School Magazine. The articles will be first evaluated by the Student Editorial Team and then by the literary committee.

The two classes with the maximum articles selected for the Annual School Magazine will receive prizes. The prizes will be awarded at two levels, senior and junior. Classes 7 – 10 fall under the junior category and classes 11& 12 fall under the senior category.
