Publishing with Students: A Comprehensive Guide

What motivates students to do their best writing? Getting published and having a real audience are great incentives. So, how can you help your students publish their writing? How do you get your students involved and then prepared to take charge of the publishing process? What are the secrets of successful student publications and how can you and your students achieve successful results?

Chris Weber answers these questions and more in his collection of essays by inspired and inspiring writing teachers around the world who have helped students publish. In the process of conferring with these teachers and conducting his own student writing projects, Weber has amassed an impressive collection of student samples that show you what is possible. InPublishing with Students, you'll learn how to:

• produce traditional forms of student publications, including newspapers, magazines, and books
• create websites to display student writing and art on the Internet
• implement e-mail publication projects, both local and global
• make a difference in the world through publishing
• discover why and how other teachers publish, and how you can, too.

Filled with activities to encourage and disseminate students' writing, wise and practical advice from experienced and talented teachers, and engaging case studies,Publishing with Students is, in the words of one of our best authorities on writing, Donald Graves, "an important book to use."
