CommunityNet Student Publishing

PBTIL - Students from Lowell and Methuen Public Schools have started publishing their work as part of the Project Based Technology Integrated Learning grant with University of Massachusetts, Lowell.
The purpose of this three year project is to create a new setting for learning and to further develop innovative and effective curriculum models, instructional strategies, and assessment components that will ultimately improve instruction for LEP students.

students' drawing of cranberry bog project First grade students at the Mayflower School in Middleboro have been studying cranberries and the cranberry bogs in their communities. With the help of their teachers, Mrs. Rodriguez (classroom teacher), Mrs. Murray (art specialist) and Mrs. Mazzone (classroom assistant) students have engaged in inquiry based activities in science, language arts, and art. Their writings, drawings, creations in ClarisWorks, and photos of their sculture have been published as part of the Integrating Technology in the Inquiry Based Classroom course.

Over the years people from many different countries have come and settled in the Leominster - Fitchburg area. With the help of tutors from Literacy Volunteers of the Montachusett Area they have written their stories.

When fifth grade bilingual students in Methuen read Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes, they also studied the history of the war, and the effects the war had on children on both sides. For an example of student publishing, take a look at their writings.
