» Feature Writer Naomi Rockler-Gladen - Great suggestions!


When I taught argumentation, I used to offer students extra credit if they successfully published a letter to the editor. Quite a few students did so. I think it's a great way to get students thinking about how to participate in a democracy.

Thanks, Naomi... likewise, I like the idea of providing incentive for students to write for a "real" audience.
