Publishing

==After students have had a chance to develop a piece of writing, there is no better way to give their writing a purpose than to share it with others in a meaningful way. There are many creative ways to accomplish this! Think about Web 2.0?? How about 3.0 or 4.0, which could happen in our students' lifetimes.==

**Here are some ideas:**

 * ==Create a class wiki page or blog to post student work. Have you heard of "Moodle"? ==
 * ==Have students write script for "movie" and produce the trailer for it. ==
 * ==Create school poetry and/or short story book to publish and give to students and parents. The students could create a virtual book version of their work. ==
 * ==Write contributions to school newspaper, or host an online newspaper that your class publishes once a grading period. ==
 * ==Host a poetry "slam" poetry competition, in class or on a video-cast linked to your TeacherWeb page. ==
 * ==Enter students in various essay contests online or to enter work for online literature journals. ==
 * ==Encourage your students to write an editorial for the online newspapers. ==
 * ==Show your students how to create a storyboard for their story, and then create it in MovieMaker or PhotoStory for publication to your website (Be sure that they are not restricted in permissions from home before posting.) ==
