Designing a Town-based Writing Project.
Gilbert, Barbara
English Journal, v90 n5 p88-94 May 2001
Describes a range of community-based writing projects that the author used with her middle and high school students of all levels. Discusses how these projects (ranging from simple interviews, to short biographies to profiles published and distributed in the community) not only became part of students' home town, but also helped students distill valuable knowledge from their subjects.
