I really enjoyed your presentation, Deb. The subject matter was right on! Community is where it happens and strikes up motivation not only with your students, but also with their families. I have gone through Belpre so often and am pleased, personally, that now I know something about its rich history.
Your organization with power point was also great and easy to follow. I am hoping this year my students will get the instruction, along with their teacher so we can use it in the classroom regularly.
Thanks for the ideas and examples. A fine performance.

The student books that I saw were very impressive--both for content and for style. We talked about this in the debrief--the unit stands on its own feet, it is far more than just a long prewriting exercise to culminate in a story. The books are part of the larger organism; I think that's the beauty of the project and probably a large part of the reason the writing was so good.
