Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, the community of Roseau and beyond will be entertained by the heartfelt stories of the youth of Roseau High School. Students will receive community feedback from community volunteers about their writing prior to publishing - then move into the revision and editing process. As their teacher I will guide the whole process and ultimately give them a class grade.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As expected there was a difference between the advanced senior English class and the seventh grade students. Editing was done in relationship to grammar, sentence structure and punctuation. The essays were edited in two locations, in the classroom, and with the Roseau Times Region Newspaper Proof Reader.
