**Welcome to AEA 267's National Day on Writing Project!** **2011-2012**

**We are very excited to announce the culmination of AEA267's 3rd annual National Day on Writing Project! ** ** 40+ students from 10 different schools have been working as a team with other middle school students from around the 18-county area served by AEA 267. Students worked together to collaboratively develop persuasive websites that communicate a variety of topics that interest them. As a culminating project, students communicated their position to others via a medium of their choice. ** ** In addition to choosing and researching a topic for the collaborative website, students must apply writing skills, demonstrate leadership, integrity, ethical behavior and be self-directed to succeed in order for their project to be a success. **

**If you have any questions or concerns, or would like to inquire about getting involved in the National Day on Writing Project, please Contact Us. **
