Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To create a writing curriculum to support secondary students in exploring and sharing their own ideas, perspectives and experiences using video content, interactive writing exercises, digital/printable workbooks, and an online student community. We will survey the writing teachers at central Minnesota high schools who use the materials, asking about the program's utility with their students. We will also digitally collect student writing samples for our records.
