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.
