Alternate Publishing Forums
• Teachers could create a blog where student work could be posted. This particular method of publishing offers readers the opportunity to comment on the work of their peers.
• Teachers could create a class Web site on which to publish work. (Writing the City is an excellent site that publishes citywide, and Scholastic offers free class Web sites.)
