Classroom: Student Writing

• Final Projects

  The students in Jani Scandura's Spring 2005 course, 1301v Multicultural American Literature created web sites for their final projects. They turned out great!

  VG is happy to host these projects - they're an excellent example of how the use of technology in the classroom enable students to engage material more directly.

  • La Frontera y la Identidad de los Chicanos
  • Native America
  • The Philippines
  • Hawai'i

• Not Just Junk on the Web  

  As our curriculum at all levels and in all its aspects becomes increasingly, and apparently inexorably, engaged with the internet, the need for study of the benefits and risks of those engagements to students becomes more pressing.

• Some Ideas for Using VG in Literature and Composition Classrooms  

  If you teach a course that is not solely devoted to women writers of color, or if you are a teaching assistant and have no say on the compiling of the syllabus and a reading list you can still use the Voices from the Gaps website and give your students assignments compatible with the VG project that will allow them to have their work published.

• Student Writing on Multicultural Issues  

  This document is designed to assist instructors at the high school and college levels in using VG/Voices from the Gaps as an assignment option in the classroom. In this scenario, students would, as a graded assignment, generate a body of biographical, bibliographical, translation, and archival information about a particular woman artist or writer of color, as well as visual and aural texts related to her life and works. This information would then be presented, credited to the student(s), on a page published on the VG site. It is our strong belief, sustained by experience, that students who are involved in this kind of real-world, collaborative project take a greater stake in their work.
