A literary magazine- a NEW digital and print publication, designed and produced by the 8th and 9th grade from the ground up. NOT just a class project- a permanent archive of our collective voice. Featuring: The Written Word: Poetry, flash fiction, lyric essays, editorials, or hard-hitting journalism. The Visuals: Digital art, photography, drawings, graphic design, paintings, or mixed media. The Hybrid: Ekphrastic pieces (writing inspired by art), annotated "visual journals," etc. Each student is to submit what they consider to be their best two pieces along with any artwork that pairs with them. Self-selected works will be published and featured at our School-Wide Exhibition on June 4. Students will co-design the publication and the exhibition by being split into four teams, through which they will gain "real-world" experience in creative direction and project management. On each team, they will have specific roles that are responsible for an aspect of the publication or exhibition. The project launch as has already occurred; we had a poet from Old Dominion University come to the school and lead the students in an interactive poetry writing workshop. Additionally, the students are currently engaged in a "Poetry Escape Room Activity," through which they are researching and exploring eight different poems per different prompts; these poems serve as mentor texts they can use in their own poetry writing, which in turn can become submissions to the literary magazine for their project.
