LETTERS TO THE NEXT PRESIDENT: WRITING OUR FUTURE - A
WEB PUBLICATION
 PROJECT FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS —
Teachers of high school-age students are invited to
participate in an
 online publishing project that allows young people to
write about issues
 they would want a new president to address, and to
publish their
 writing for a national audience. NWP and Google have
teamed up to develop
 Letters to the Next President: Writing Our Future, a
website where
 teachers can publish writing through Google Docs, a
collaborative web-based
 composing tool. Sites are encouraged to reach out to
teachers of
 students ages 14–18 who might want to incorporate
this opportunity into
 their teaching during the fall presidential campaign.
Registration: August
 4 – September 8.
