Teen Press Feedback Booth
Students and teachers reflect on their participation on a workshop with John Seigel Boettner at Cotter in February. A middle school history teacher at Santa Barbara Middle School, Seigel Boettner developed a journalism program at his school called SBMS Teen Press. The program started having students conducting red carpet interviews at the Santa Barbara Film Festival and over time grew into a class that researched and interviewed people in many different walks of life. A documentary called TEEN PRESS was made about the program and John was in Winona to show the film at the Frozen River Film Festival. While he was here he conducted a journalism workshop with Cotter students, who then were able to interview some of the people behind the films being shown at FRFF.
