The first few lessons are entirely devoted to the presentation and discussion of concepts, using the expositive method. The teacher does, however, use some materials (such as audio investigative journalistic reports) to demonstrate the validity of the concepts presented. In the second phase, students are challenged to apply acquired knowledge in the critical analysis of audio investigative journalistic reports. The final works are done in group following the guiding principles of collaborative journalism.
