This month ELA students in NSD at Belmont embarked on a zine project.  This project was a creative way for students to express themselves through expository, narrative, informative, and persuasive writing using descriptive language.  Students sharpened their writing skills by moving through the writing process (drafting, editing, revising, and publishing.)  The final products were single-sheet zines comprised of appropriate content the author felt a personal connection to.  The writing was assessed on criteria outlined in a rubric.—Jessica Ernyey, ELA Teacher
