The Young Writers Project has continuously generated strong, positive reaction from all those involved – students, teachers, parents and, of course, readers. We have received many stories about how this project – which engages students to write, provides feedback from YWP editors and college mentors and publishes their best work – has impacted kids’ lives:
China Project Feedback -- Kelly Hermann
Submitted by ggevalt on Fri, 10/05/2007 - 10:19pm.This is Kelly Hermann, a member of the Vermont Youth Orchestra, talking about what she thought of The China Project, a multi-media journal of the VYO performing tour of China in the summer of 2007. The Young Writers Project editors held workshops and then served as mentors and editors during the trip to help students create a multi-media blog of their journey.
The blog was viewed by some 20,000 people in two and a half weeks. Parents, friends and relatives were constantly online checking on the journey and it became something of a local happening, as they used to say, in Vermont and in music circles around the country. Parents were able to vicariously experience their children's tour while musicians said they learned a lot -- through others' eyes -- about what they were experiencing.
