Today, I decorated a bulletin board to use this fall as we elect a new President. At that point, I was not sure what to put on the board, where to begin, or exactly what our focus would be.
Tonight, I read Ted Nullen’s post about Google Docs and the National Writing Project’s latest endeavor to assist in motivating our students to write even more.
For high school teachers and mentors who would like to capitalize on young people’s interest in the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign, Google and the National Writing Project have teamed up to create Letters to the Next President: Writing Our Future.
Now I am focused (also a very applicable way to teach letter-writing…check here for a Daily Writing Tip on “How to Format a US Business Letter“).

Good! I need to learn more about this…would be great if we our kids could read each other’s letters. More ideas for collaboration!

Thank you for sharing this. I think I might try to use it with my AP students as a way to practice persuasive arguments.
