X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.622) Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Status: O Content-Length: 2208 Lines: 79 Hi Mariann, A newsletter is a good example of a collaborative writing project, and perhaps a wiki would be a good environment for students to make one. (Each student could develop an article on a separate page. Other students could read, add to, and/or edit the articles. Then the polished texts could be loaded into a desktop publishing program.) Other examples include a collaboratively written essay (e.g. a GED essay) , a collaboratively written letter to an elected official, or newspaper editor, a storyboard for a video or group comic book, or a collaboratively written health brochure. What other examples can we think of? All the best, David David J.
