    - Donald H. Graves, best-selling author and revolutionary writing teacher
    Publishing with Students begins where most books about writing end. It answers the question: how do student writers find an audience? If writing is communication, the process is incomplete unless writing is shared. How? With whom?... [This book] answers an even more basic question: why we write.

    - Eric Kimmel, Professor Emeritus of Education at Portland State University
    We are always talking about providing students with authentic, meaningful opportunities to publish their writing, but too often we don't know how, or when, or where to do it. [This is] the book I've needed and never found...Chris Weber has written a book we can trust and for which weand our studentswill be grateful.

    - Jim Burke, author of The English Teachers Companion
    What a great book for those of us struggling with the challenge of assisting learners in publishing their work!...Whether youre interested in newspaper, magazine, or online publishing, youll find the experiences here helpful...

    - Sara Day Hatton, Editor of The Active Learner: A Foxfire Journal for Teachers
What motivates students to do their best writing? Getting published and having a real audience are great incentives. So, how can you help your students publish their writing? How do you get your students involved and then prepared to take charge of the publishing process? What are the secrets of successful student publications and how can you and your students achieve successful results?Chris Weber answers these questions and more in his collection of essays by inspired and inspiring writing teachers around the world who have helped students publish. In the process of conferring with these teachers and conducting his own student writing projects, Weber has amassed an impressive collection of student samples that show you what is possible. In Publishing with Students, you'll learn how to:
  • produce traditional forms of student publications, including newspapers, magazines, and books
  • create websites to display student writing and art on the Internet
  • implement e-mail publication projects, both local and global
  • make a difference in the world through publishing
  • discover why and how other teachers publish, and how you can, too.
Filled with activities to encourage and disseminate students' writing, wise and practical advice from experienced and talented teachers, and engaging case studies, Publishing with Students is, in the words of one of our best authorities on writing, Donald Graves, "an important book to use."Read what NEA Today, Midwest Book Review, and other media are saying about Publishing with Students at www.publishingstudents.com/HeinemannLink.html.
