Classroom Publishing: A Practical Guide for Teachers (OpenBook)

Classroom Publishing: A Practical Guide for Teachers is a resource guide for teachers using publishing as an educational tool. Contents include real-life examples of classroom publishing projects, background on the publishing process, and a resource guide with information about project planning to eco-friendly publishing options. This totally revised second edition shows teachers how to combine new technologies and traditional book publishing to create engaging lesson plans and encourage student literacy.

The first edition of Classroom Publishing was written in 1992 by Laurie King and Dennis Stovall. In 2001 Dennis Stovall founded Ooligan Press, the premier student-run publishing house in the United States, and he relied on the concepts of Classroom Publishing when designing the curriculum and structure of the master's in publishing program at Portland State University. As a project from the classroom, the second edition was written and produced by the students of Ooligan Press.
