What is The 1001 Flat World Tales Project?
This project takes the traditional language arts “Writing Workshop” into the 21st Century in three easy (but radical) ways: • it replaces pencil and paper (or MS Word) drafting, revising, and peer editing with a better (and simpler) writing tool: a wiki; • it expands the options for peer response and peer editing beyond the walls of your classroom–and your clock, city, nation, and culture–by enabling peer feedback, editing, and connection with students from around the world; • it replaces the “authentic” publishing of the 20th century classroom–hallways, newsletters, literary journals, etc–with authentic publishing in the 1001 Flat World Tales “blook”: a potentially endliess series of stories from students around the world, inter-linked on individual student blogs.
