It doubles as a destination site and a news service, disseminating student content nationally. Our media partners value our coverage and regularly publish news service content on their websites and in their newspapers.

AP Style Games Professor Ingrid Sturgis and I have implemented AP Style Games in our editing classes. This activity has been effective in engaging students and helping them teach each other the finer points of Associated Press style. The students work in pairs and choose a category from a box, such as military titles, numbers, geography, weather, business, sports or punctuation. Each pair can create or adapt a game in a week or two. The rest of the class has to play the game. Students have created board games, competitions that require movement in the classroom or hallway, scavenger hunts and creative Q&As. They’ve also adapted Tic Tac Toe, Red Rover, Jeopardy, Hollywood Squares and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Sturgis and I typically offer prizes or badges to the most creative games, but the students bring incentives to, ranging from candy to DSW shoe discounts. Afterwards, students evaluate the effectiveness of each game and what they learned on a short survey based on the Likert scale. MILITARY PRECISION: Student answer questions about the armed forces during AP Style Games. Click to see video clip.
