South Carolina Middle School Covers Walls With Students' Written Work.

I think this is one of the coolest things I've heard about in a long time. I've emailed the teacher and am hoping to get some pictures. Click on the synopsis to read the full story:

The Anderson (SC) Independent-Mail (11/19, Carey) reports that students' written works cover the walls of Starr Iva Middle School in South Carolina. "The pieces were done as part of the National Day on Writing" in October. However, "the project will continue throughout the year as Starr Iva works to become an 'Exemplary Writing' school." The sixth through eighth graders' writings include poetry, fiction, and nonfiction works. "The writing not only allows the students to perfect their writing skills, said Principal Mike Ruthsatz, but to express themselves." And, he added, "The students love to see their work up on the walls."
